Социално инженерство и дигитални платформи
Social Engineering and Digital Platforms

Summary/Abstract: This report examines the role of digital platforms as a social engineering tool and analyzes their potential implications for the national security of the Republic of Bulgaria. Particular attention is paid to the algorithmic mechanisms of content distribution, the network effects of social platforms and the emotional dynamics of digital campaigns. These factors create a new influence architecture where information flows can be used to purposefully influence society. Based on empirical data on the Bulgarian information environment, the report identifies structural vulnerabilities related to high digital dependence on social platforms, low trust in media institutions and fragmentation of public debate. This combination creates the conditions under which information campaigns can influence public stability and political processes
