Well... the states continue to control the media now don't they? And with the new tools, in particular the ability to sock puppet and impersonate human behavior in a context poor environment (you can't physical see the person, so can't make out if they are real or not, or body language and other factors we normally have during interaction). So wouldn't it be fairer to say that they now have stronger control?
