CSE report details high-tech ways foreign actors could to spread disinformation, harass politicians and conduct espionage

You mean the media you’ve seen every day your entire life? The news agencies that are owned by Americans perhaps? The social media platforms that millions of Canadians use every day? The American big box stores where you buy your kids clothes and dog food? The multitude of advertisements for American goods on your Canadian tv and radio stations maybe? No American influence here at all.

Welcome to the future where three letter agencies are replaced by two and four letter ones and American influence and exceptionalism has been fed to you so long it’s normal for you.

I think there’s still a difference between state and corporate based propaganda, no?

Only in who benefits.

The targets of that propaganda are still diminished, regardless of who is manipulating them.

In a world where those things were separated, maybe.

Not when the state is controlled by corporations and oligarchs that own all the media.
