"This is an unprecedented move in Western democracies to block specific Internet sites—and is a worrying progression that they are flirting with the idea of censoring the Internet as a means of crowd control," Proton VPN's spokesperson told me.

It's really not. For example the UK has blocked rt.com for years now, and many other sites.

Nah, they even have a web site apparently: https://www.royalparks.org.uk/visit/parks/hyde-park/park-deck-chairs

Well he's the fucking lord of death for NATO recently so I guess he would know about death wishes.

What a bunch of removed clowns

Deceptive social media accounts by Chinese Communist Party (CCP)-affiliated actors have started to pose contentious questions on controversial U.S. domestic issues to better understand the key issues that divide U.S. voters. This could be to gather intelligence and precision on key voting demographics ahead of the U.S. presidential election.

People put questions in posts to elicit replies to increase engagement metrics so the post is shown to more people, not to "gather intelligence and precision on key voting demographics ahead of the U.S. presidential election."

Whole article reads like some AI fantasy

Maybe they shouldn't have bombed the Iranian consulate?

US foreign policy establishment blindly intent on beating Russia on the battlefield and crushing its economy. Neither will happen

Nah, the US starts war to hurt competing economies and prevent alliances from forming.

The war might be lost but the mission has been accomplished: Europe is fucked economically for now and a generation of Europeans will grow up hating Russia making it unviable to have close relations.

Humans are just electrified meat. Stop anthropomorphizing it.

Well he's right, nobody cared about Iraqis, Afgans, Syrians, Libyans, Vietnamese, Cambodians,... we've slaughtered tens of millions with no problems, so what's different now?

It's my understanding that this operation targets Chinese users, not AUKUS users. However there are probably other undisclosed operations.

Also let's not forget that something else happened at the end of 2019.

It's dead everywhere else because they can't use Google Play Services.

Anyway, I don't think the goal of US actions is ever to stop or kill anything completely. After all there's money to be made in the "problem" coming back again and again.

I think this is an important point people who mock the US don't get.

But at what cost ? ? ?
