If true, then regulators in the U.S. will not have fully-effective interventions if the focus of U.S. regulatory action is on “foreign” disinformation and ignores by statute the actions of incentive-aligned actors within their own country. 8/8

Evidence might suggest that their alignment to these other actors dominates the oath they swore to the U.S. Constitution. 7/8

For example, one might assess that several actors who hold rank in the highest levels of the U.S. government appear to be more closely aligned, perhaps by financial or blackmail incentives, to senior leaders in other countries. 6/8

This is because aligned actors, such as those who engage in transnational organized criminal activity like trafficking and laundering, operate across all traditional boundaries.
5/8

Effective interventions need to focus on the human actors, their incentives, and their collective alignment and not fixate on traditional labels and boundaries. 4/8

Jensen and Meckling (1976) relatedly suggest that institutions act as a nexus to align individual human actors via explicit and implicit contracts. 3/8

Stanford Graduate School of Business Professor Chris Armstrong consistently comments that “institutions do not make decisions. People within them [to whom disproportionate power has been allocated] do.” 2/8

Disinformation interventions need to focus on the human actors who hold disproportionate power over institutions and not on traditional institutional boundaries and labels. 1/8
