The main takeaways from the article is that social cybersecurity is a separated field that works differently from traditional cybersecurity. Social cybersecurity involves people hacking other people with technology with the focus on manipulating beliefs and behaviors for a political outcome. It is difficult to defend against social cyber threats while maintaining an open society and free speech.

The authors make a good case for traditional cybersecurity approaches not being effective for these threats and an approach that combines social science, technology and security expertise will need to be employed
