"You're being targeted by disinformation networks that are vastly more effective than you realize. And they're making you more hateful and depressed."

"TL;DR: You know that Russia and other governments try to manipulate people online. But you almost certainly don't know just how effectively orchestrated influence networks are using social media platforms to make you -- individually-- angry, depressed, and hateful toward each other. Those networks' goal is simple: to cause Americans and other Westerners -- especially young ones -- to give up on social cohesion and to give up on learning the truth, so that Western countries lack the will to stand up to authoritarians and extremists."

Yes. And I think Western countries have already lost precious time to counter this, are they even doing something against it? Seems like no. Now add AI in the mix : we're fucked big time.

- conspiracies theories, while CCP bots mostly go around defending China. But they aren't the only ones doing it...American political parties and people promotingyuekit
- specific causes like anti-vax are very active in this too. And a lot of the hate and division just happens organically...it doesn't require a foreign governmentyuekit
- It's not simplistic, they've both been after sculpting a soft power for 20 years. Russia is a little more quiet.garbage
- China is much more brute force on whatever headline is damaging to the CCP.garbage
- But my point was this is the most "DUH" article ever, and that if this is an eye-opener to anybody, they're decades behind the curb.garbage
