When WCG took over, asymmetric warfare and terrorism went up - until the "Media Neutrality Act" and the "Regional Enhancing Act" slowly showed their effects.
'''Media Neutrality Act'''


From WCG's strategical point of view terror incidences got far too much media attention. It didn't matter of what nature those incidences were: economical, political, national or religious. Because it is the media that terrorists need to effectively spread fear for their actual goals. The WCG begun to limit screen time in media about terrorism - with the import notion not to suppress such news completely. They compared the media coverage about annual road deaths with death numbers of terrorism to legitimize the new laws.
When WCG took over, asymmetric warfare and terrorism went up.


After the latest global hyper-crisis WCG had formulated their "Regional Enhancing Act" to build up "weaker" regions and bring a more general sense of unity. By various parties alike [...] it was superficial coined as "Capitalism to the rescue - peace by economical wealth".
The WCG wanted to increase the overall approval of their citizen. Simultaneously they wanted to suppress new separatists movements. So in their strategical view terror incidences got far too much media attention. It didn't matter of what nature those incidences were: Religious or political. '''Because it is the media that terrorists need to effectively spread fear for their actual goals.'''


The "Media Neutrality Act" remained a Damocles sword. Less media coverage made terror unattractive for violent-ready individuals and groups but also hampered people's readiness to accept new instruments for police forces. That was until the Syndicate and technological threats became the new visible problems.
The WCG begun to limit screen time in media about terrorism with the important notion not to suppress such news completely: Silencing the news about terrorism would have been unnecessary censorship and the WCG needed at least a minimum of societal awareness to justify new anti-terrorist laws when needed. But usually casualties from terrorism were compared with annual road deaths.


To improve their anti-terror strategy WCG announced [[Restless_Souls/Technology#Project_Checkerboard|Project Checkerboard]] in 2050.
Eventually the Syndicate and technological threats became non-ignorable problems of global scale which need it necessary to ramp up TCTF. To improve their anti-terror strategy WCG announced [[Restless_Souls/Technology#Project_Checkerboard|Project Checkerboard]] in 2050.

Due to the "pandemics of disinformation" the WCG demanded journalists to be fully state-certified. Critics named those new generation "embedded journalists" just doing "pool reporting" in reference to older wars where journalists had been too close to owns own army but not to the actual reasons. What started as halfway plausible idea ended in an Eigendynamik of state propaganda. Politicians didn't stop that development as they profited too much that system.
