U.S. Sanctions on Disinformation Campaigns
The U.S. has imposed sanctions on groups associated with Iranian and Russian disinformation efforts targeting American voters. These factions have been accused of using advanced technology, including artificial intelligence, to create deepfake videos and spread misinformation aimed at destabilizing trust in U.S. electoral processes. For instance, the Moscow-based Center for Geopolitical Expertise allegedly collaborated with Russian military intelligence to conduct cyberattacks while Iran's Cognitive Design Production Center has been involved in inciting political tensions through cyber means. Despite the allegations from U.S. officials, both countries have denied these claims, emphasizing the ongoing global struggle against misinformation.
