I mean, they've been all over Reddit running accounts for decades at this point, no? At this point I feel like 75% of my interactions on mainstream sites are going to be from foreign agents and/or bots.

They've got to be at least 75% of /r/worldnews.

They simply ban you there for a mere criticism of Israel, which has nothing to do with their T&C. By now this subreddit turned into an echo chamber of likely minded bots and trolls.

They will site ban you for reporting the shill accounts too, even when they're flagrantly violating the TOS.

You can trust me. I am human.

On a completely unrelated matter have you thought about therapy but don't have the time to see a therapist in person? Try Better Help.

And they keep telling us Russia and China are the threat we need to be afraid of

forget to pay your bill and Zuck will throw you to the wolves

Yeah. I'm not buying for a minute that anything was "discovered", other than that they didn't pay their protection bill. Meta/Facebook seems to have tolerated worse and more obvious abuses for decades.

Any post about Israel on Threads still has a comment section filled with non-posting accounts that only comment water-muddying dreck about Hamas.

It's rampant. Hasbara is busy.
