T2.FI 2023 (t2 InfoSec Conference 2024)

The information ops run amok on social media platforms, mainstream media, image boards, and state media, by more or less anyone wanting to influence the world politics one way or another make it non-trivial to grasp both the nuances and the broader impact of any affairs having a global impact. The non-simplicity of the current situation, or the eternal meta, in Europe is not-so-subtly highlighted by the seemingly easy cohabitation of German luxury cars with Russian and Ukrainian plates in Jūrmala, Latvia – known as The Baltic Riviera, a popular destination also for Finns and Estonians. Historically a favorite among Communist officials, the location is considerably more Western after this July. First-person narratives still hold value, and considering that you are spending the most valuable currency in existence for humans – time – during the interaction, makes it an infinitely more symmetrical experience for all parties involved.
