👉 The URL weapon is a form of misinformation and disinformation tactic that involves creating or manipulating links to websites, social media posts, or other online content to spread false information or propaganda. These links are often designed to appear legitimate and credible, leading users to visit sites that display misleading or entirely fabricated content. By exploiting search engine optimization (SEO) techniques, the URL weapon can make this misinformation appear as authoritative or widely accepted information, thereby influencing public opinion and potentially causing harm to individuals, communities, or even national security. It is a common tool in modern digital warfare and requires critical thinking and media literacy to identify and counteract its effects.
