      CISA’s Mis-, Dis-, Malinformation (MDM) team is charged with building national resilience to mis-, dis-, and malinformation and foreign influence activities. Through these efforts, CISA helps the American people understand the scope and scale of MDM activities targeting elections and critical infrastructure, and enables them to take actions to mitigate associated risks. The MDM team was formerly known as the Countering Foreign Influence Task Force (CFITF). […] Misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation make up what CISA defines as “information activities”.

      Many parts of the US government, including the FBI, CIA and the Department of Homeland Security, had direct access to the major social media companies and instructed them on what content was permissible, who could use the networks and how their content was to be published. Initially justified as part of ‘the fight against terror’, this was expanded to include threats caused by MDM (mis-, dis- and malinformation). The mission creep of these agencies and the vagueness of the MDM definitions gave the government control of free speech in direct contradiction to the American First Amendment.

Mehan, “Misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation through the use of generative AI”, in Artificial Intelligence: Ethical, Social, and Security Impacts for the Present and the Future, 2nd edition, Ely, Cambridgeshire: IT Governance Publishing, →ISBN, chapter 13 (Ethical challenges of AI 2024 and beyond: The moral imperative of navigating this new terrain), page 349:
      Given the versatility of ChatGPT and other generative AI tools to create content, it is unsurprising that imposters and those that would spread mis-, dis-, and malinformation (MDM) are also looking into using ChatGPT and similar AI models to streamline and enhance the effects of their actions. […] One of the areas for MDM to occur is within the political systems, especially in situations like the US presidential elections. MDM can originate from a variety of sources across digital, social, and traditional media, and new MDM topics emerge continuously.

      When the allegations were proven false, the censorship machine moved on to targeting mis-, dis-, and malinformation. MDM can come from anywhere, any country, and it is seen as a threat to democratic institutions, or “democracy” as it’s so often shortened to.
