    I really need someone to tell me how to feel about this.

    An army of 15 year olds with a mission to save lives is something pulled out of a novel, not real life.

    Edit: After a few replies I feel even more confused and afraid.

      My concern is more the possibility of defining disinformation in some politically conveniemt manner. Will this be some despots minitru?

        Its already happening. In fact, looking at it from a wider perspective than nowadays teenagers are often able to, the modern “fight against disinformation” is just fighting propaganda with one’s own propaganda. And if you read the Hittite and Egyptian descriptions of Battle of Khadesh, it isn’t really a new thing either.

          Its always happening, but the tools available evolve and the level of support fluctuates. We have a lot of new tools right now and what seems like a disturbing level of support.
