I must say that by now, it is hard to tell what is the truth.

- ItsMe000001 9y ago> by now I don't think much has changed, it's just that we see a lot more diversity than 30 years ago. Having grown up in East Germany, if I hadn't lived close enough to the Western border I could only have viewed East German TV and read East German newspapers. In the US you were (for the most part) not exposed to anything from Russia, and vice versa. Now more people get to see that the world is quite a bit more colorful, for both better and worse. I don't think it matters all that much, because apart from passive news consumption, what would you actually do (that is impacted by the information)?

- IAmEveryone 9y agoNote that nobody in West Germany used to watch East German TV during that time. Meaning: it’s not all propaganda, with each side being equally bad and the truth to be found by triangulation.
- Asdfbla 9y agoUnderstandably, since that press release is devoid of any real information. Seems quite reasonable to disregard it. That's one thing that bothers me about security in general, that it's so super political and it's a bit hard to just be interested in the technical aspects of it without being sucked into political bickering to some degree (can't follow Twitter accounts of most security people for that reason). Of course, I understand that it comes with the field since many adversaries simply have political motives. Still annoying though.
- mkane848 9y agoHave any twitter accounts you find worthwhile? I currently follow Troy Hunt and occasionally check some of the people he talks with/retweets, would definitely like to expand that a bit.
