Summary/Abstract: In an age where information flows freely across digital channels, the weaponisation of information has emerged as a powerful force with the potential to manipulate public opinion and challenge the very foundations of democratic systems. In our latest discussion in the EU-Pacific Talks, we delved into the future of digital risk and the weaponisation of information. The debate examined the roles that the two regions, Europe and the Indo-Pacific, play in confronting the complexities of disinformation and cybersecurity threats. Certain countries' experiences were in the spotlight to provide valuable insights into their proactive approaches to countering disinformation and their focus on cybersecurity.
