Different countries have made on-and-off efforts over the decades, but I'm explaining why they're all doing it right now.
Intelligence agencies have seen the writing on the wall with allowing hostile countries unfettered access to their own citizens minds on social media for a while, I would imagine
You actually mean you want to abolish freedom of speech. Sure. But then we lose the moral high ground of going to wars because we have democracy.
I don't want to do anything. I think it's a problem with no moral solution. When Elon turned on location data in Twitter and everyone saw all the homegrown American Maga influencer accounts were foreign it should have opened eyes but Noone really cared. You have a choice between closing the internet or letting them brain rot your populace in the open. It's not a theoretical power, nato and the US European led world order is on the cliff of dissolving and none of our adverseries had to fire a single shot at us.
You can't see me but i rolled my eyes.
OK, what's your solution? Continue to let every foreign power spew propaganda unhindered? Do you find the dissolution of nato by an extremist foreign sponsored American party less serious than I do? The mere concept of America openly threatening invasion on nato would have been completely unthinkable a year ago.
