I’m beginning to think a free, international Internet isn’t compatible with democracy. The medium is the message and the message of the Internet might end up being autocracy and hyper-effective propaganda and disinformation. I’m not sure it practically can live up to what we hoped it would be—some kind of liberating, enlightening force. It may just not be that, and it may be that no amount of tinkering will fix it.

An uneducated populace isn't compatible with democracy. This is just yet another manifestation of that.

I don't think there will be a free, international internet much longer. Between the money that can be made by local internet companies and the dangers to the incumbent power structures, I'm sure we'll start seeing more and more china-like internet setups in the future.

The intelligence community knows the Russian actors are and where they are hitting from, for the most part. The issue is getting the political and business leadership to take it seriously and do something about it.

The current administration has not taken the problem as seriously as it is for a wide variety of internal and political reasons. Neither has Facebook done much about limiting or policing political ads.

The problem space is pretty clear, getting actors in the space to do something about it...
