It should be different in the US because augmenting the flow of information to manipulate behavior goes against the foundational principles that the US holds and represents. We expect Russia to manipulate and lie to the populations and control what they say to each other. We tell ourselves that our success comes from our integrity, our unwillingness to do this, that we outperform and defeat them precisely because they do this and we do not. I personally do believe this as well. And besides that, we should be condemning anyone that engages in this sort of thing, not whatabouting it. My mind is mine, it's not your battlefield. All that a state gets from me when attempting to do this is withdrawal of my loyalty to it and my faith in it.
