Recognizing manipulation is one thing, but doing something to help the issue is another. Most of the ease of propaganda is due to social media. Even if we enact some sort of digital isolationism, that would be trivial to bypass due to proxies and government hacking. The sites themselves(Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, etc) could change the algorithms to emphasize local community formation instead of focusing on more national news, but if that doesn't maximize revenue for them, then they likely wouldn't do it. Plus propaganda could still be spread on a more local scale. On top of that, the idea of these social media corporations manipulating whose stories and meetings can and can't be spread is off-putting to me. I believe this issue is here to stay. If anything is to be done, then maybe the government should be transparent about the issue and try to emphasize social harmony. Or perhaps the whole Russia pivot is just an attempt to push people into social harmony. I personally haven't seen any direct proof of Russia's involvement. It's just the government that claims it's occurring.
