peer agreement (net): +2governmental counter-propaganda unit Explanation: This seems to be about activities occurring under the auspices of government with the intention to counter other sources of information, intentional disinformation and/or accidental misinformation. A possible reading would almost seem to be that it's about countering propaganda originating from within government (this is negated by Claire's explanation), which could suggest that the original French could be reworded. The proposed translation instead suggests that it's about activities undertaken from within government which aim to provide corrections or clarity about third party communications which would either a) be contrary to some official line and/or alternatively b) be more so anti-government in nature. An alternative possibility is "counter governmental propaganda unit" (likely negated by Claire's explanation), which could be either to serve as protection against accidental or malicious errors in official communications (e.g. to the public), or b) potentially to provide response against intentional disinformation or accidental misinformation diffused by other governments (e.g., entities operating within government in the USA, Russia, China) or non-governmental entities (e.g., ISIS or similar). The proposed answer can be discerned from that of Francis, in that his suggestion could mean something broader in terms of the orientation against this propaganda, whereas "counter-propaganda" could be understood as truthful information, misinformation and/or disinformation intended to address whatever problems might be claimed with respect to some other communications deemed to be "propaganda". There is an important difference between being "anti" something, and "counter" something, the second of which is more about responding to something (e.g., to provide superior information or more informative or correct framing) than being "anti" per se. |
