"Six false videos in just over six months: the relentless nature of this Russian propaganda reflects how effective RSF is. This false and misleading content - which uses the credible reputation of RSF to spread untrue information - illustrates not only the dangers of Russian disinformation but the consequences of the inaction of platforms like X, how ineffective the current fight against informational interference is, and how dangerous the news media's passivity in the face of these attacks can be.
