I have no idea what you're even talking about. The guy you replied to is 100% correct. Social media companies have built the launch platform for a foreign attack, and nothing has been done to make sure it's not being turned against the American public. You know the saying - with great power comes great responsibility. It they want to create such a powerful, world altering tool, they need to be able to make sure it isn't being used in an attempt to fell an entire country.

Lots had been done, but those teams were all fired, access to the API made unbelievably expensive, and researchers threatened and prosecuted for observing bad guys & disinformation. It's wild what Free Speech has suddenly become under new management. Free Speech used to also be free to consume, observe, look at, understand. But now speech is free & unbelimished from anyone understanding whose actually saying it or what networks they are part of. Free & unaccountable speech.

  It also isn’t really free. See: the accounts tracking private jet usage

At some point they need to educate themselves and stop falling for this crap. This is divisive and unhelpful, even if the underlying phenomenon ("some people are gullible") is true.
