Why can't our tech overlords easily stamp out "russian bot farms" on their platform? To blame US propaganda broadcast to the American people on a foreign entity, to me, is lazy and foolish. How much influence does "American bot farms" have on Russia? Or china?Military prowess doesn't mean they can't still have successful intelligence influence campaigns.
Just look at all of the bots on X - it is clear the Russians have an effect on there and they influence political discussions.. and that is in the open. What happens behind the scenes and behind closed doors?
Also, I don't get why people say just because people are rich they can't be compromised.. money isn't the only influence.. how about safety of yourself or your family? Perhaps damaging information you don't want public? There are many options that can influence outside of money.
