The DSA you speak of is not the DSA (Digital Services Act) the article refers to. (I didn’t downvote, fwiw.)

  You can vote however you want, it was a small joke. I was drawing attention to the fact that "disinformation" is at it's core, someone who has no right to vote in an election trying to influence those who do, and how we often paint lawful, protected speech as disinformation, either by direct retorts "Russian bot!" or... downvoting. Vote however you want friends, I play by "Whose Line" rules -- it's all made up and the points don't matter... hence accounting for the multi year GAP in my posts.

    > I was drawing attention to the fact that "disinformation" is at it's core, someone who has no right to vote in an election trying to influence those who do While the terminology is still awful, I think this was an insightful attempt toward trying to frame the issue as exported propaganda by foreign actors.

      >while the terminology is still awful, I think this was an insightful attempt toward trying to frame the issue as exported propaganda by foreign actors thank you. i need to be more diplomatic, but i don't like having my patriotism questioned when i haven't left the country since the obama administration and i have to admit, i went to a dark place after feeling like my advice was repeatedly ignored in parallel with my integrity being questioned. but... yeah... i DO need to joke less.

        > but... yeah... i DO need to joke less. Please don't; I thought it was funny once I understood what you meant by DSA. By awful terminology, I referred to the whole concept of disinformation (and misinformation and whatnot).
