Reply to comment by zookr2000 in China intensifies disinformation, cyberattacks on Taiwan: report by Wagamaga

The US already does enough of it to itself, I wonder how much China would even need to contribute at this point

That's why so much crap is "Top Secret" - if people only knew how much they are being screwed over - & not just by our own government.

That is an equally stupid take. The disinformation is almost certainly perpetrated by foreign influence. The US as a state actor is not causing instability because it would serve no purpose.

Effectively, yes. Sometimes it's by people who are straight up malicious. Sometimes it's by "innocent" people who genuinely believe the nonsense. Alex Jones would be a good example of the first, anyones parents could be an example of the second. Both dangerous, but with completely different intentions.

The US as a state actor is not perpetratrating a disinformation campaign against itself. That is utterly ridiculous. It serves 0 purpose to the US to create instability.

Sure, some people in the US are acting in bad faith and even maliciously, but to say the US as an entity is doing it is misleading.
