It's outrageous to the extent we're completely unprepared and maybe unwilling to deal with it.

Radio Free Europe was at least just using the airwaves. These efforts are using US corporations against the US.

I'm not sure what that even means, knights have moved the same way for thousands of years and we're just discovering how internet society works in real time.

Having the hyper-free-speech internet that we created turned against us in ways that more authoritarian countries are immune to is a huge slap in the face. We need to figure out a way to handle this.
