With the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the information war also began. Matylda Kozakiewicz, known on the web as Segritta, shared a method on the web that helps to verify the information we receive. What is the “Putin test?”
“Putin’s Test”
As Kozakiewicz emphasized, the key step is to ask yourself one fundamental question. “I ask myself: is the spread of this news useful to Russia’s interests? (E.g. it will cause panic, cause fear, conflict between Poles and Ukrainians, conflict with Europe, reduce aid to Ukraine). Putin trolls and I do not share it anywhere “- advises the psychologist.
– The mechanism behind their recruitment is based on empathy. People share fake news to warn of fuel shortages, rape or conspiracies because they want to warn others in good faith. They want to fight evil. They do not realize, however, that they are becoming pawns in the hands of Russian propaganda. Russia is now interested politically not to be in solidarity with Ukraine, to quarrel with each other and not to accept refugees. Therefore, it is always worth considering what EFFECT the popularity of some fake news will have. Who will use it – Kozakiewicz said in an interview with Wirtualnemedia.pl.
