US intelligence report alleging Russia election interference shared with 100 countries - eviltoast

The United States on Friday released a U.S. intelligence assessment sent to more than 100 countries that found Moscow is using spies, social media and Russian state-run media to erode public faith in the integrity of democratic elections worldwide.

“This is a global phenomenon,” said the assessment. “Our information indicates that senior Russian government officials, including the Kremlin, see value in this type of influence operation and perceive it to be effective.”

A senior State Department official, briefing reporters on condition of anonymity, said that Russia was encouraged to intensify its election influence operations by its success in amplifying disinformation about the 2020 U.S. election and the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Keep it coming. I still haven’t heard anyone legitimately name a freedom that Americans don’t have.

    To be more specific about the Autobahn, yes that is a form of freedom, but it’s more like a privilege as you must have licensing etc, and it’s only applicable to one road network or system of highways. We have racetracks all over America with no speed limits, possibly even more miles of track than miles of Autobahn but that is just a wild guess.
