(2,244 posts)take on some. There are roles for anyone who wants one, from the internet researchers exposing the Internet Research Agency for what it is, Cambridge Analytica for what it did in 2016, the activities of Russian bots and disinfo campaigns - to those who steer clear of social media but exchange information in other internet venues like DU, to those who only read news publications but share their thinking with their real-life social circle, to those whose most valuable job is to get out the vote and vote themselves. These are all human differences in how we approach things, and that's not where the problem lies, to me at least. It's with people saying we have to shut down these avenues of free speech because we don't like what's being said. We have to go above that.
