all political campaigning is electoral misinformation. As a society, we are just going to have to deal with an untrustworthy informational environment and elevate our level of skepticism to the appropriate level

Do we want to let foreign states with an agenda to have an outsized impact? Can we have healthy debate about our country and future with them dominating the conversation with the most toxic and divisive statements?

Is our society capable of elevating to an appropriate level? Seems like we're better at escalating to an inappropriate level :/

It's not just X who's going to be struggling with this, youtube is seeing an uptick for the '24 cycle

Sorry, did you follow the stories about the impact of Facebook on the 2016 election in the US and the following "gilets jaunes" in France?

Seems to me that we have real life examples that show that it is not enough to just "let it be".
