On the other hand, digital information has become an asset with high added value.Analysis
of personal data on the Net is used for a wide range of purposes from sociological
studies to advertising campaigns. Malicious use of personal data and disinformation
campaigns have high potential to destabilise society. Furthermore, exploiting personal
data breaches represents infringement of this data’s security, affecting people’s privacy
and their data’s integrity and confidentiality.
As far as disinformation campaigns are concerned, they use elements such as fake news
to influence public opinion. Internet and social media amplify the effect and scope
of the information being sent out, with potential application against targets such as
international organisations, States, political initiatives or public personalities or even
democratic electoral processes.
