THE WAR ON PINEAPPLE: Understanding Foreign Interference in 5 Steps

To date, we have no evidence of Russia (or any nation) actively carrying out information operations against pizza toppings. This infographic is an ILLUSTRATION of how information operations have been carried out in the past to exploit divisions in the United States.

Foreign in Á uencers are constantly on the lookout for opportunities to in Á ame hot button issues in the United States. They don · t do this to win arguments they want to see us divided. 1. TARGETING DIVISIVE ISSUES

American Opinion is Split: Does Pineapple Belong on Pizza? An A-list celebrity announced their dislike of pineapples on pizza, prompting a new survey. No matter how you slice it, Americans disagree on the fruit topping.

2. MOVING ACCOUNTS INTO PLACE

Americans often engage in healthy debate on any number of topics. Foreign in Á uencers try to pollute those debates with bad information and make our positions more extreme by picking À ghts, or ´ trolling µ people online. Pro Tip: Trolls try to make people mad, that’s it. If it seems li N e an account is only aiming to raise tensions thin N a E out whether it · s worth engaging. Building social media accounts with a large following takes time and resources, so accounts are often renamed and reused. Multiple accounts in a conversation are often controlled by the same user. Pro Tip: Look at an account’s activity history. Genuine accounts usually have several interests and post content from a variety of sources.

3. AMPLIFYING AND DISTORTING THE CONVERSATION

Being anti-pineapple is un-American!

Millennials are ruining pizza!

Keep your pineapple off my pizza!

What’s wrong with plain old cheese?

4. MAKING THE MAINSTREAM

Pizza is for Pepperoni! In the past, Kremlin agents have organized or funded protests to further stoke divisions among Americans. They create event pages and ask followers to come out. What started in cyberspace can turn very real, with Americans shouting down Americans because of foreign interference. Pro Tip: Many social media companies have increased transparency for organization accounts. Know who is inviting you and why. Foreign in Á uencers ´ fan the Á ames µ by creating controversy, amplifying the most extreme version of arguments on both sides of an issue. These are shared online as legitimate information sources. Sometimes controversies make it into the mainstream and create division among Americans. This is a I oreign in Á uencer stri N ing gold! Their meddling is legitimized and carried to larger audiences . 5. TAKING THE CONVERSATION INTO THE REAL WORLD
