Re:Successfully Countering Russian Electoral Interference by wruza on Sunday June 24, 2018 @07:33AM (#17386111)
Assuming that the threat is real and one of the big/influential countries does that, what’s the solution? The secondary media space, i.e. non-tv-radio which are expensively licensed and controlled, is open to the influence, to categorizing, labelling and other ranking by its nature. The main force there is popularity and small money (compared to e.g. military). Is it the “aggressor” that should change or the media space that is so vulnerable now? You’re basically put down all the [mind] defenses and then complain that it was influenced. It will, dude, if not by politicians, then by advertisers and other trick dealers.

That’s all theoretic since I don’t believe that government forces are vulnerable at all. As I understand, it is just a new convenient “evil axis” to fight against. Even if you assume that Trump was heavily supported by russians, then it means that US democracy had only one viable candidate on last elections and half of the US politics were basically bought. That’s in my opinion either nonsense, or the end of US democracy.
