I find it interesting how it appeared clear in 2016 US election that Reddit for example was being a target of Russian interference, (alongside other places like Facebook and Britain during Brexit), even with Russia in a weakened state China appears to have seen what was being done as valuable and taken up the task

The playbook always seems to be to stoke wedge issues, including funding groups on both sides of the political isle; funding the NRA and BLM seems to be two of the most common examples. The reality being that the amount of disruption and destabilisation that is achieved, it must be that these governments must see it as good value for their money.

This is USApes main line of defense when anything ruffles their feathers close to election season. It's just soooooo easy to rile these mfers, that it's easy to predict what next country they're going to blame for their shitty politicians and dumb populace. It's going to be one of:

It's Russia, China, North Korea, Cuba, Iran, Antarctica, Aliens, Satan.

What the fuck ever happened to burden of proof. We're taking Microsoft's word at its face value when they can't secure their own servers from security incidents over and over in last couple of years.

It's also ironic that the country that controls most of the social media companies on the Internet and in effect controls narrative on most other nations points fingers at someone else.

Eat that shit up raw bruh. The boogeyman is coming for ya.
