Way back in 2014, before we knew Russia was messing around in American elections,
Finland began noticing intentional misinformation campaigns focused around issues
like immigration, the European Union, or whether Finland should become a full member
of NATO. These campaigns ramped up in 2015 and a year later, the Finnish government
rolled out a multi-pronged, cross-sector approach designed to give its citizens the tools
they needed to be effective digital info users.

As the US continues to experience intentional attempts by both international and internal
groups to manipulate the digital world we live in, can Finland’s experience help us we get
smarter? Yup. I think it can. Find useful tools in this article.
