Are Finns Better at Dealing With a Disninformation Society?

in Ex-Facebook

Once, on Facebook I wrote:

A really interesting article that explains, with nod to historical belligerence, why the Finns are so adept at fake news and media propaganda training. This capability is a plug-in to their top-tier education and literacy standard. Oh and with a not-entirely-cold-war with Russia on their land-border, it pays to be prepared to handle all levels of warfare: cyber, psychological, economic, etc.

In countries with underperforming literacy levels, media savvy is also impaired. Where does the US rank in literacy?

Hint: It’s not anywhere near the top.
