    Not really. Both follow their own agenda and use the same methods to get people buying into it. I too use the Internet to help spreading ideas I think are important. Those are not always in line with the current political agenda but important to me. Is that a bad thing now that I use my time and money to help change?

    Practically speaking, are we calling UK company "foreign" on this topic? What is so foreign about this interference? Hows is propaganda, domestic or foreign a new element in elections? How about political funding? Does that not qualify as foreign interference in elections when politicians get foreign funds?
