US, Israel and Russia called FIMI information threats

Commentators are arguing that the United States should be considered a FIMI threat — foreign information manipulation and interference — placing it alongside Israel and Russia. The claim, made in discussions tagged to EU politics and democracy, reflects a view that major Western allies engage in the same information manipulation tactics often attributed to adversaries. The assertion is contested, as FIMI discussions typically focus on state adversaries of Europe rather than its partners.
Why now: Ongoing debates about EU policy on foreign information manipulation are prompting people to question whether Western allies should also be labelled as threats.
