Admiral Mike Rogers led both the NSA and the United States Cyber Command, and there’s one issue concerning him more than any other.
The assassination attempts on former US president Donald Trump represent the growing threat of online extremism fuelled by ultra-partisan misinformation trending on social media, according to Admiral Mike Rogers, former director of the US National Security Agency and commander of the United States Cyber Command.
Admiral Mike Rogers served in the US Navy for 37 years and is now in the private sector, on the advisory board of Australia’s largest cybersecurity firm CyberCX.He describes these as “the manipulation of opinion and perspective in a democratic, free and open society; where adversaries, both outside as well as inside, are turning our freedoms against us to keep us divided and to keep us fighting each other.
“Often the social media they are paying most attention to is this very distorted, very extreme source of information and perspectives that create this justification in their mind for why they should do what they do,” he said.Rogers holds a relatively rare distinction, having worked under former presidents Barack Obama and Trump. He said they could not be more different in terms of working styles.
