If I understand your point, you are conceptualizing the discussion as "how could Trump attack FB" vs "how could Zuck attack the US"?
Is that fair? Or do I not understand your point?
- Karunamon 9y agoWhat? No. I was saying that bringing the armed forces into the discussion is, at best, a non sequitur since their use is A. illegal, and B. implies the rest of the system is trashed enough for it to not matter anymore should they be used. Opinion manipulation is a powerful thing. Something that, in this country, won't be fought with guns.
- dogruck 9y agoIt is not illegal for the POTUS to use the armed forces. I agree with would be outrageous if they were used against US corporations -- but who is proposing that??? I guess I don't understand your point.
- Karunamon 9y agoWhy bring up military force as superior in power to social engineering via media if its use is off the table?
