In this article, social cybersecurity is described as a tool used by several entities to gain a tactical advantage in technological warfare. It’s also described in a way that can be determined as a weapon if used by parties with malicious intent. Throughout the article, the impact that social cybersecurity has had on the world, while everchanging, always had an impact on outcomes of several conflicts throughout history.  One of the main things that stuck out to me regarding this were how severe its changes were and how impactful they were.

               One point the article made was the advancement of technology and how it became easier to spread information over a large group of people at one time. Before the rise of the internet and the ease of access to different ways to get information, as the article stated, governments and mainly large organizations controlled the flow of information to the public. However, has technology got better, information got distributed through several new means such as blogs, social networks, or other forms of social media. Because of this, the control of information became more difficult but easier for anyone to put any type of information out on the internet.  This caused fact checking to be necessary at all levels from the top of government agencies down to the average user.

               I feel that due to the advancement of technology, it’s important for not just those in possession of sensitive information, but anyone who uses technology on some level should be aware of social cybersecurity can affect them. It is everyone’s responsibility to maintain safe practices to prevent the spread of misinformation online.
