I'm from the Czech Republic (inside former USSR's 'sphere of influence'), and the effects of Russian disinformation campaigns on our society are real. We are in a 'hybrid war' with Russia for at least ten years.
- kmlx 5y ago> and the effects of Russian disinformation campaigns on our society are real is this not a failure of czech/european society at large instead of RT?
- BeefWellington 5y agoOne of the primary things the EU can do is turn off some sources of misinformation. If the suggestion it's a failure of society at large because that hasn't been done before then I suppose that could make sense but if it's in response to it being done now that makes even less sense.
- FrozenSynapse 5y agobecause idiots exist everywhere, they buy the russian propaganda like warm bread
- arroz 5y agoSo either get rid of the idiots or get rid of the propaganda. It is easier to get rid of the propaganda.

- arroz 5y agoWhat society is not susceptible to propaganda? Most Russians still think the war is just in the places where there are large Russian minorities and have no ideia the Russian government is attacking the fucking capital of Ukraine
- kmlx 5y ago> What society is not susceptible to propaganda? oho, slippery slope here. by this measure most media should be banned.
- asveikau 5y agoThis is rather like blaming the host for the spread of a virus.
- kmlx 5y agowhy is the host not wearing a mask?
- freemint 5y agoBecause wearing a mask (banning broadcasting of RT is invasive and against liberal values) was unfashionable and people still complain and call it totalitarian. Now Europe is wearing a mask.
- asveikau 5y agoSure, we do all kinds of things to prevent viral infections. We wash hands. We wear masks. We vaccinate. For sexually transmitted things there are condoms. We also have immune systems. But at a lower level, when the virus makes it to the cell and hijacks its machinery to spread... That's the part i was thinking of. The cell isn't to blame for being hijacked.
