| Titre | Aborder l'exploitation de la peur du rayonnement: un guide d'auto-évaluation pour contrer la désinformation Addressing the Exploitation of Radiation Fear: A Self-Assessment Guide to Counter Disinformation |
| Texte | In December 2024, two events -drone sightings in the US and Israel\'s strike on Syria\'s weapon depots- were followed by orchestrated reports of detected radiation spikes. Some media outlets took these dubious reports (with millions of views) that originated from social media , and published pieces based on them. In one of these cases, the actors behind the disinformation campaign exploited a real-time radiation map, which is maintained by a private company that manufactures personal dosimeters, to sustain the narrative.Kim Zetter has recently published "Anatomy of a Nuclear Scare", an article that covers this issue.This trend does not come as a surprise, as radioactivity is one of those few things that can collectively trigger significant levels of societal anxiety and emotional, rather than rational, response, which is often disproportionate to the actual physical risks it poses. This radiation fear has been shaped during years by a mix of cultural, historical, and media-driven narratives. In recent years, increasing geopolitical instability, the ever-growing influence of social media, the return of magical thinking and the precariousness and discrediting of traditional sources of information have resulted in a constant flow of misinformation.. It\'s no coincidence that successful campaigns can be executed with limited resources, compared to traditional manipulation activities, and still have the potential to go viral, maximizing ROI.Despite the fact that these campaigns explicitly exploited-or leveraged-publicly available online resources providing real-time radiation levels, in most cases, the actions were simplistic and carried out without the need for specialized \'cyber\' skills or expertise. So far, the only exception to this trend can be found in Chernobyl\'s post-invasion radiation spikes from 2022.I see no reason to believe that we won\'t likely see similar campaigns in the near future. I also acknowledge that this topic is not everyone\'s cup of tea. You may not have the time or interest to go through detailed technical explanations of radioactivity from both physics and cybersecurity perspectives. However, for those who are really interested in that kind of in-depth reading, I\'ve published comprehensive research papers on this topic.So, I thought it might be useful to put together this publication, which is merely intended to serve as an \'emergency guide\' to quickly grasp a set of simple yet sound principles that hopefully can help everyone, regardless of their background, to approach radioactivity-related reports with a critical eye. Armed with these fundamentals of radiation monitoring, we\'ll learn how to quickly discern between stories that make sense and those that don\'t hold water.An Emergency Guide to Understanding Radioactivity and Radiation MonitoringLet\'s say that you want to build a simple cabin in a small plot of land you have in the woods. The foundations should be stable enough to ensure the structure does not collapse just right after finishing it. However, you have an unusual constraint: the only material you can use is balloons. Common sense suggests that, although balloons are not the ideal material, the best way to use them would be to keep them completely deflated. Anything built using inflated balloons will not last long; it depends on the quality of the material the balloon is made of, but everybody acknowl |
