you literally just scrolled past several comments with evidence to make this reply. not to mention how naive one's priors must be to think no western actors engage in these activities, given everything else we know about the US espionage apparatus and foreign propaganda efforts

Watch out for correlation versus causation though.

If you employ hundreds of forum trolls at minimum wage it tends to get out eventually. Of course the US does psyops. It’s the trolling part that’s the question.

You put words in my mouth by changing the quantifier from "western governments" to "no western actors". And yes we do know a lot about how the US conducts espionage, yet we don't have evidence of state-backed troll armies.
