I completely believe that they were failing.

Question is how bad will the PsyOps and interference get? Without them?

Depends on how relevant twitx still is come the elections...

[–] irotsoma@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

It will still be relevant with the minority that holds the majority of power in the US due to gerrymandering, the electoral college, and all of the effort that Republicans have put into making it extremely difficult for people in cities to vote. I mean Fox News was only relevant to them in the last several elections.

The next time there's an election that the Republicans try to steal, X (formerly Twitter) will now work to back up their lies completely. That's what's really happening here.

Not QUITE how Twitter works, Democrats can pay for ads and run all the psyops they want with fake accounts too.

Question is whether any Chinese or Russian intelligence teams decide targeting messages at lefties is going to contribute towards their goals as a whole.
