    We are all susceptible to propaganda, every one of us. I know I’ve caught myself a few times.

    People on Facebook though… They are VERY susceptible

      I don’t know. People in the west dont seem to understand they also listen to propaganda every single day. But they think it’s just happening in Russia or China.

    Very.

    The major social media sites were programmed to feed people content that convinces them that their opinions are fully valid while also keeping them perpetually angry, all to keep their eyeballs glued to ads.

    When content synthesized by AI gets more sophisticated, we won’t be able to tell the difference.
