If so, it is a form of deception, isn't it? The word "selective" is not in the middle of this concept. The idea is to optimize and focus the true information you provide towards the goals you have set. You do not deceive anybody in a strict sense. Often it is also a matter to avoid furnishing arguments that can endanger your mission. We focus on the effect on the decision cycle, so in this sense it is not deception, in my opinion. > >> disruption (where one tryies to reduce the opponents or public attention to a >> certain subject by "noise"). > >Isn't disruption in this case a form of deception? It depends. It can be done with infrasound, music on the tactical radio networks or by "higher level" noise for example in the media. In the end what you want to do is to DISRUPT (slow down, de-focus) your oponent's decision cycle.
