A Denial of Future Attack is about the overwhelming influx of information that paralyzes decision-making, particularly regarding actions crucial for shaping future outcomes. Unlike a Denial of Service attack, which targets digital infrastructure, a DoFA targets the human mind’s capacity to process information and make decisions.
A DoFA is swamping someone/a process with so much information (fake, true or whatever) so that it stalls proper decision making. DoFA targets people's agency by hobbling information processing and thus obstructing decision making. Misinfo/desinfo campaigns then are a form of DDoF. Examples given also suggest a DoFA may succeed if there is only a hint of misinfo/fakery, making all information suspect. Vgl [[Reverse Turing menszijn bewijs vaker nodig 20230505100459]]
