Did Reddit year-end recaps expose Russian interference in Alberta?::Online anti-LGBTQ+ harassment and engaging with small communities are documented foreign interference tactics, but they have so far not been observed in Canada.

It really boggles my mind that so many people are ready to just categorically dismiss them and their obvious effectiveness. And then there’s the ones who know otherwise, but are playing right into the propaganda intentionally for one reason or another.

Propaganda doesn't work on me, I'm too smart, too independent, to principled. Man, why do I have such a craving for all of a sudden. /s

Honestly its amazing that people think that corporations are giving hand over fist for advertising that DOESN'T influence people. Or that states are just running massive operations because they thought it might worth it.

I find it weirder still that there’s not more public discourse on it in media and politics. Like, this is the country (what’s left of it after the USSR) that for decades was Americas villain, and now they’re actively sowing discord in the country, and no one cares.

If this was the Cold War there’d be entire government agencies dedicated to stopping troll farms.
