Abstract
In today’s interconnected world, the phenomenon of truth decay has become a significant social concern. Truth decay refers to the gradual erosion of the concept of truth and the gradual decrease of respect for objective facts, evidence and experts’ opinions, based on specialized knowledge. Facilitated by the rapid advancement of technology and the rise of social media platforms, this phenomenon has profound implications for social processes and interactions, public discourse and overall trust within modern democratic societies. This article explores the causes and consequences of truth degradation in modern society (as a broader societal phenomenon) and examines its implications for security and defence. It also explores the ways in which the truth decay can be maliciously exploited in the context of hybrid warfare, as a tool for manipulating public opinion, spreading confusion and undermining societal cohesion, and highlights the importance of addressing this issue.
