Globsec: Foreign disinformation media gaining traction on Slovak Facebook pages

A recent Globsec analysis has shown that foreign websites spreading disinformation and conspiracy theories have a significant impact on Slovak Facebook users, Globsec's communication and marketing team told TASR on Wednesday. The research revealed that pro-Russian actors have gained notable traction on Slovak Facebook pages. As an example, Globsec mentioned Russian pro-government news outlet life.ru, whose content is often liked by Syrian militaristic channel Panteon. "The contents of the website are processed, for example, by a Slovak Facebook page called Spravodajska Alternativa (News Alternative), which thus contributes to promoting these contents in the Slovak information space," Globsec explained.
