Corruption of the information ecosystem is not just a multiplier of two long-acknowledged existential threats to the future of humanity - climate change and nuclear weapons. Cyber-enabled information warfare has also become an existential threat in its own right, its increased use posing the possibility of a global information dystopia, in which the pillars of modern democratic self-government - logic, truth, and reality - are shattered, and anti-Enlightenment values undermine civilization as we know it around the world.
