“War does not only reshape borders. It also reshapes what can be seen, said, and remembered. When governments invoke ‘misinformation’ during wartime, they often mean something simpler: speech they do not control. Since the escalation of conflict between the United States, Israel, Iran, and related spillover attacks in the Gulf, several governments have intensified efforts to silence dissent and restrict the flow of information.” (04/13/26)
