Also, this is complete BS imo: “The Kremlin’s social media manipulation from afar during the 2016 U.S. Presidential election has shaken Americans’ confidence in democracy and shattered users’ trust in social media platforms.” Try the 2020 election and the Twitter files if you want to talk about shaken trust.
This reads like propaganda. Boo boo, the baddies in other countries are after us! The USA participates in narrative shaping too, as has done so for a long long time. I propose we all recognize the right of adults to discern themselves what is BS and what is more likely true. I know it’s hard when there’s so much BS about. But there’s also no fairy tale place with unbiased information where no one has an agenda and no one is trying to persuade. People need to learn to discern. It’s starts with recognizing articles that try to scare you about those baddies over there.
