NALCHIK. Aug 27 (Interfax) - Russia's enemies are actively posting online calls for illegal activities, this is a dangerous weapon, Russian Security Council Secretary Sergei Shoigu said.
"A considerable part of extremist manifestations involves posting in an information space of public calls to engage in illegal activities. At the same time, use of various methods of informational and psychological influence on human consciousness is a dangerous weapon in the hands of our foes," Shoigu said during an offsite meeting in the North Caucasian Federal District on Tuesday.
Websites, forums, social media and messengers have become a potent resource of information used against Russia in order to intensify destructive processes within society, he said.
The deliberate dissemination of false and provocative information on the most sensitive topics to a wide circle of users is one of the most effective tools of waging "modern provocation wars," Shoigu said.
