JOHN KIRIAKOU: ‘Russian Interference’ 3.0
Consortium NewsSEP 2024
Hillary Clinton's stance underscores the need for global media and social media security. Russian propaganda's impact on public discourse is a "weapon of mass distraction." Artificial intelligence may be a potential tool to counter fake news, but trusted media platforms must also educate citizens. The importance of protecting democratic societies from disinformation align with Clinton's broader concerns about safeguarding truth.
Hillary Clinton's outrageously hypocritical call for criminal charges against Americans engaging in misinformation only further heightens broadconcerns about growing attempts by government to dictate "truth." Legal efforts to control speech risk entrenching oppressive state powers undermining free media credibility, and if anyone is to go to prison for such an offence it should start with Hillary and her establishment friends for their pathetic attempts to push Russia-Trump collusion conspiracies in 2016.
