The thing is. If one side is allowed to do propaganda why should the other side be not allowed to.
Obviously hacking into systems and releasing internal data is a step to far.
But I don't see the general problem of propaganda as long all sides are doing it. Well sure I do see the issue but this is just how a open society works.
- tootie 9y agoThe FEC says who is allowed to run propaganda. You have to be registered as a PAC to run political ads. And you're not allowed to use foreign money. Even groups like Swift Boat Veterans for Truth and Citizen's United were registered with the IRS and all their communications were clearly attributed.
- herbst 9y agoWait there are central entities that control who is allowed to do propaganda within their border? This sounds wrong on all ends
- tootie 9y agoOnly who is allowed to do it professionally. And it's incredibly easy to obtain permission. There's very few barriers. It just has to be disclosed.
- soundwave106 9y agoIs your argument also that a government is not allowed to get upset about disinformation propaganda efforts conducted by foreign states in their territory?
