The newly-established Agency for Psychological Defence shall be engaged in combating “disinformation” and “misleading rumours”.
The Swedish government has decided to commission a special investigator to prepare and implement the formation of a new authority, called the Agency for Psychological Defence.
Located in the cities of Karlstad and Solna for better cooperation with the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency and the Swedish Security Police, the new 50-strong authority will be tasked with “protecting the open and democratic society, the free formation of opinion and Sweden's freedom and independence”.
“An important part of the work is to strengthen the overall ability to identify and meet undue information influence and other dissemination of misleading information directed at Sweden. Information influence in the form of, for instance, misinformation and rumours can constitute a threat to Sweden's democracy, decision-making and self-determination,” the government said in a statement.
