How misinformation comes from a talk on disinformation

At a recent event hosted by the Shoman Library on disinformation, I stated that Jordan was third in the world in terms of the number of cyber-attacks and influence operations.

Since then, the anti-Daesh war has continued but at a lower intensity while Bashar Al-Assad has taken control of key areas in Syria.
