It systematically elaborates on three key dimensions: neurocognitive processes (emotions, motivation, heuristics and their influence on information processing), the transformation of the media and platform ecosystem (personalisation, algorithmic settings, social media dynamics), and the role of education in building information resilience (critical thinking, media and digital literacy, preventive approaches such as prebunking). The study also discusses the impact of disinformation on individuals, society, and decision-making processes and outlines the implications for strategic state communication and public policy-making. It emphasises the need to combine technological, regulatory, and educational tools, including early prevention.<\/p>\n
