Hybrid warfare is taken here as a contemporary modality of political struggle based on permanent destabilization, and can appear as organized horizontally or commanded by a war machine. This article of theoretical reflection, supported by bibliographical research, proposes to analyze the status and performance of hybrid war machines on algorithmic platforms. Such machines are characterized by eccentricity with regard to the governance exercised by corporations on the platforms. They tend to reinforce the predisposition of algorithms toward disinformation, which contributes to asymmetric polarization. This polarization, in turn, involves a militant position.
