Can you give a tangible example where disinformation from China impacted any domestic topic in the US? Sure, there is propaganda and attempts to influence certain topics, but I wouldn't want to give up privacy because I don't like some content on TikTok. I think the divisions are of domestic origin and this argument is more or less FUD. And no, you will hardly ever get rid of surveillance powers once established without serious political shifts. Propaganda messages are quite easy and public. And yet I don't think you can name a single instance where such a message would have influenced the beliefs of a significant portion of the domestic population. If so, which message, what topic and who was targeted? I think an example of propaganda is that you need to give up your freedoms for security because of "disinformation". A wrong statement on the internet became a threat to democracy. |

I agree, many divisions are definitely of domestic origin. However we definitely know that foreign interference has been at play to identify and amplify those divisions.
>If so, which message, what topic and who was targeted?
5G - weird one I know, but agitators gonna agitate.
Climate - Russia was a massive oil exporter, de-carbonizing efforts threatened that.
Atomic power in Germany - Russia definitely didn't want Germany achieving independence from their gas imports.
BRICS - China would love to de-dollarize the world.
>And no, you will hardly ever get rid of surveillance powers once established without serious political shifts.
And this is the advantage of democracies, big shifts can happen. With Dictatorships however it usually takes violence. A lot of violence.
