You can make that claim about Reddit or other social networks but.. just read through this thread? It's pretty clear that this is just random people's uninformed opinions, fears and speculations. I don't see a single good argument besides the very easy to make and modest opinion that we're not sure what's going to happen exactly now, but it sure is interesting.

That's… A good reminder, actually. At best it's just some random guy. At worst it's a three letter agency's botnet. Maybe influence ops would be less realistic of a concern if we all put somewhat less stock in social media.
