 If we are to avoid the toxic consequences of disinformation, we need to sharpen our sense of skepticism and ask pertinent questions about the veracity and motivation of what we view and share. We need to engage in transparency and expose this behavior, shining a spotlight on it whenever we can. Education of the threat and providing context to enable critical judgment will help mitigate this vulnerability. Otherwise, if we do not challenge the dissemination of falsehoods, we not only allow, but also invite ill-intentioned forces to continuously negatively influence us all. 26 THE CYBER DEFENSE REVIEW
