A good self-reflection. They discuss five logics of (fake) news about fake news in the Scandinavian context:
(1) anticipation ("it is coming");
(2) exteriorisation ("it is foreign, never by ourselves");
(3) technologization ("it is the AI");
(4) securitization ("it is about national security and we need military to counter it");
(5) pre-legitimation ("ad-hoc speculation about countermeasures in crisis situations").
My personal take is that some of these are counterproductive -- if not outright dangerous, like the case (4). Like everywhere, no one dares to truly reflect upon the case (2).
