Disinformation, influence, and hybrid threats: thoughts from Singapore

Abstract

This article details Singapore’s efforts against disinformation and state-sponsored subversion. The methods examined include both legal and non-legal measures that have been enacted (with the broader canvas, also examined, of what other nations have attempted to shore up their own defences). The article also discusses economic coercion: the issue is not in itself new, but has in recent years been tinged with added potency on account of the wider geopolitical struggle for the commanding heights between the United States and China. Some consideration is also given at the conclusion to the way forward: what nations need to do in the face of emergent challenges (including generative AI) which might further complement the already impressive toolkit of malign actors.
