公開了衛星情報可能讓之後的情蒐更棘手,不公開又會輸了眼下的認知戰。所謂「道高一尺魔高一丈」的進化競爭陷阱,在資訊戰時代根本是以小時計的恐怖速度,情報機關大概也很討厭吧。

"美國「政客」(Politico)網站26日報導,9位美軍區域作戰司令去年簽署一份備忘錄,呼籲情報機關提供軍方更多他們能夠公開的證據,來對抗「有害行徑」,幫助美國和盟友更能在現在所謂的「灰色地帶」之戰中不戰而勝,「在這場持續中的敘事戰爭中提供彈藥」。

這份備忘錄由當時即將卸任的美軍印太司令部司令戴維森(Phil Davidson)發起,包括歐洲、非洲、拉丁美洲等區域,以及特種作戰、太空司令部領導人響應,致函給當時的代理國家情報首長馬奎爾(Joseph Maguire),震撼五角大廈、情報圈和國會。由於這9名將領的官階,這份備忘錄又被稱為「36星備忘錄」。

報導引述多名熟悉此事的政府官員說法,美軍11位作戰司令中就有9位簽署,且其中8人都是現役,幾乎是前所未聞,此事突顯軍方最高將領不尋常的警惕程度。美軍只剩中央司令部、網戰司令部司令並未連署。"

"Despite the low levels of additional engagement among
genuine Twitter users, these high levels of inauthentic engagement are remarkable for two reasons. First, artificial engagement can amplify content by manipulating
Twitter’s recommendation algorithm, in turn leading more
genuine UK-based Twitter users to see the content. And second, artificially increasing the retweet and engagement counts of tweets may also benefit the
account holder. In our case, the ambassador or the embassy’s, status and reputation may have benefited, as higher retweet counts suggest broader support among their target audience."
