I bet there are, just a matter of scale and effectiveness.
There’s an organization that sneaks usb drives to North Korea. Full of news, shows, articles etc all hand picked by former NK citizens that defected

Are there disinformation campaigns from the EU targeting the russian population?

But is it disinformation?
Spreading information is not the same as spreading lies.

You’re so brain rotted you can’t conceive that someone would throw their own country under the bus. Most people in developed societies do, frequently.

There’s a great documentary about North Korean expats who were convinced to flee to South Korea based on anti-NK agitprop. Once they arrive in SK, they discover that they’re second class citizens whose only real revenue source is talking shit about NK. This has given birth to one of the most famous NK dissident disinformation agents, Yeomni Park

You seriously believe this? This isn’t a great documentary, it peddles conspiracies theories without attempting to prove any of its claims.
The channel this is posted on is clearly of one opinion and is pushing an agenda.
They are brought to a detention center, for a week, longer if they are showing signs of cult behavior. The video tries really hard to show this to be horrible and makes zero attempts to balance this in anyway. To me this sounds like a deprogramming center but to a tankie it is primed to accept its sinister and therefore will accept it without thinking.
This video actually proves that not everyone can be deprogrammed. Near the end the one of the North Korean’s literally says North Korea is awesome and not a dictatorship because it says so in the constitution. Also, the lack of protesters during the famine are proof that every one believed in the leadership so much that there was no need to protest.
That’s cult mentality. There are people who believe everything they hear and lack critical thinking skills. You might be one of them, but I am not.
To a critical observer this only serves to show how subversive propaganda is and how it can permanently break some people’s minds.
The fact that that exists, shows we have freedoms. Show me the anti-north Korean propaganda that North Koreans can freely access.

Not European, but there’s Voice of America: Russian, which was originally headed by Richard Carlson from 1986 to 1991. You might not recognize Dick, but his son Tucker is also a fixture in the media business.

No but englightened centralism means facts don’t matter.
Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I see this as more anti-nationalism than any kind of centrism.

Shh don’t try to get them to understand, they need their safety blanket of good vs evil because without feeling like they’re one of the good guys they’ll have to confront their own personal failings.

Say it to my face next time. It is a lot more impressive compared to mindreading.
