The HuffPost's @rachelmoss_ is the only journalist who's reported this responsibly, trying to pin down when the ad was first launched (currently unknown)

If the National Cyber Security Centre did in fact launch these graphics following Rishi's announcement, it's certainly very stupid timing. But Rishi made his "retraining" remarks only a week ago (Tues 6 Oct) - so these ads were obviously in development well before then.

For clarification: the CyberFirst campaign has been running since at least 2015 - and it's this that's being referred to in the first tweet as a "campaign" (the overarching thing) https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/cyberfirst/overview … The specific ad creative within this campaign is newer, age unknown.

Also for clarification: "Fake news" or misinformation often functions through real info being miscontextualised to lead the reader to false conclusions. Saying something is "fake news" does not require it to be fabricated from the ground up. More here:https://www.cjr.org/tow_center/6_types_election_fake_news.php …

What worries me is an erosion of the public (and the media's) ability to tell the difference between these things. Or the erosion of the *desire* to tell the difference, if pretending it's all connected is a better story. Perhaps it was always already eroded, mind. Not decay.

Oh yes. It's still dreadful, mind you. Clarity used to be a watchword of the COI - has gone out of the window over the past 5+ years.
