Shadow ban!

Agree, wish there was more talk about that. That is scary. He distrusts the press, I can see why. But what are the procedures for him to deny quickly something that was posted there by a hacker. "Lol, launching nukes to China". What is the turn-around time for an urgent TV / radio address saying "oops someone guessed my password and trolled everyone" before China launches anything back.
- adventured 10y agoIt wouldn't be an urgent TV address, that would take far too long. There are direct lines of communication in multiple ways between the US and China, both at the political level and militarily. The White House would also issue an immediate release to the press, which would be global distributed essentially instantly. Further, both China and Russia have the ability to detect that long range missiles are being hurled at them. There are an awful lot of crazy notions being floated in this thread. The unnecessary hysteria is getting out of control. It's like the old Reagan days times ten (we were all supposed to be dead in the 1980s because Reagan was going to get us killed in a global nuclear war).
