> Yes, observing publicly broadcast posts for signs of deliberately posted disinformation (and ignorantly reposted/amplified misinformation) is an excellent idea, since this is a primary vector for enemies, especially authoritarian states to implement asymmetric warfare, falsely motivating a population to fight against itself. Like when the entire George W Bush administration lied about Iraq, with enthusiastic amplification by the vast majority of news outlets, and an entire campaign to suppress anti-war dissent? > Yes, it sounds like it's close to the (legitimate) bogeyman of government intruding on it's citizens for nefarious control reasons.
