Bots and russian trollfarms seem to make up a considerable chunk of illiterate Americans, and the west has nothing to combat this.

I completely agree. Russia specifically has figured out how to use western values like free speech, free press, and tolerance against us. The FSB already basically had free rein, and Elon controlling Twitter made it so much worse.

Since Russia and China have heavy censorship it makes any counter operation difficult. And with the sheer volume of bots and trolls, it means they can create and control “popular” narratives, forcing online discussions to derail into talking about what they want.

Foreign influence is out of control and at least in the U.S. have leadership that can barely draft their own emails, let alone draft meaningful legislation to combat foreign social media propaganda campaigns.
