I really wish the cyberpunk novels I read in my youth would stop becoming reality. Especially Distraction by Bruce Sterling comes to mind. It’s just so crazy that political entities run false campaigns, and that the impact of these campaigns is so profound. I’m happy YouTube is fighting back, but at the same time I can’t help but wonder if our social media platforms are really geared to fight it. With so many hours of video uploaded, it seems impossible to regulate. I imagine that they are trying their best, but aren’t SEO people showing us every day, that it’s fairly easy to game the system? The worst part is the apparent lack of consequences. Does the Chinese government really care 210 of their propaganda channels were shut down?
