I'm pretty convinced that Livejournal was Russia's test bed for weaponizing social media. I think they used it against their own citizens first, and data-mined the English-speaking side to understand how it worked, and took what they learned to perfect the shit-storm of lies on modern social media (on Tumblr/Twitter/Reddit/everywhere.)
can you think of any other countries, that might be weaponizing the internet? or is russia the only one
