Report: Disinformation and potential vulnerabilities in the Facebook debate on foreign policy in Greenland

This report examines how Greenland’s foreign policy debates unfold on Facebook. It identifies potential vulnerabilities in the digital public sphere related to disinformation.

By analyzing eight key thematic areas, it demonstrates how local discourse intersects with global geopolitics. The findings indicate no confirmed foreign-state-led disinformation campaigns during the studied period. However, the report highlights conditions under which such interference could arise in the future. It presents how discussions on topics like mining, climate, and international alliances prompt varying engagement. The analysis shows how questions of self-determination are the ones that engage the public far more than any other topic. The study underscores the need for ongoing vigilance as linguistic tools and AI evolve rapidly. It provides a valuable baseline for future research on Greenland’s online political discourse and its resilience.
