That's not actually true. Thomas Rid spent a good quarter of Active Measures on Wikileaks, Cozy Bear, Guccifer2.0, Cambridge Analytica and the 2016 election and its aftermath. An overview: - Targeting was less effective than made out in the press - Actual Cambridge Analytica campaigns were less viral than organic nonsense - Facebook was utterly flat-footed, are less so now and boy howdy any further shenanigans are not gonna go their way It annoys liberals to bring this up, but Trump lost the popular vote against a deeply unpopular candidate, and then lost the popular vote against a mildly unpopular candidate. When the vote is close (and when the vote isn't equal), disinformation campaigns can tip things one way or another but they are not, in and of themselves, election-winners. it also annoys liberals to bring this up, but the give-a-shit factor can't be ignored. More people voted Trump out of office than any election in history. Cambridge Analytica outraged everyone and did damage to Facebook far beyond damage done by Facebook. by all means, be vigilant. By all means, shout at Silicon Valley. By all means, poke and prod and post Gettr logs. But also recognize that getting mad about things that aren't as bad as they look is the best way to keep them from becoming as bad as they look. Web3IsGoingGreat is a shitshow. It's a dude who hates crypto, who has made a career out of hating crypto. Social media on the blockchain is beyond nascent; right now, a system designed for exchange of value is primarily focused on exchange of value. go figure. Expecting it to replace Facebook right now is ridiculous.Bots, trolling, all of it, we have no idea.
