    Bad take. We’re in the modern world of information warfare: expecting every citizen to be immune to psychological trickery from a nation spending tens of billions to research and test ways to trick them is unrealistic and unreasonable. There’s people with PhDs in human psychology spending their entire time and untold amounts of compute power trying to stoke the flames of division and push misinformation and you think we should allow it?

        The US government isn’t in charge of one of the largest social media platforms in the world. US corporations are absolutely doing this as well, but that’s an argument for more regulation not to grant China free reign

          US-run social media apps are pretty much now just arms of the US surveillance state, functioning both as pro-US propaganda machines, and tools to spy on the communications of the entire world.

          For example, the most popular social media app in India for example, is facebook. The US controls the main method of news and communication for a country much larger than its own.

              He didn’t say the government owned Facebook. Even so, it doesn’t need to own it to control the flow of information.

          The US intelligence & propaganda machines dwarf those of all other states, just as the US military dwarfs those of all other states. And they don’t only direct it at other countries, they direct it inward, too. “Russiagate” was a domestic psyop directed at its own people, to manufacture our consent to censorship.

            The US most definitely uses its surveillance and propaganda system to influence the public. This was all exposed a long time ago.

            The thought that Russia influences AOTUS is a conspiracy is probably one of the more bonker things I have ever heard though.

            For sure stories were made up but anything short of of acknowledging that Russia has financially supported and heavily influenced everything about the current administration is pure conservatard garbage.

                I am not sure what you were trying to express with that. Half the articles show how Trump has supported Russian interests to the detrament of the international community.

                It is clear you have not even taken the time to read your own articles. I am guessing you push so much conservtard bullshit it is impossible to keep up with the lies.

                There is no doubt Russia heavily influences Aotus. Just the simple matter of bank rolling him demonstrates all you need to know.
