Reddit (this is repetitive and has happened before with LiveJournal)

Does anyone remember the livejournal? How it was sold to the SUP and the arrests and harassment of participants for free speech began in Russia?

Oh yeah.

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
  
  Whatabout Whatabout
  
  Any country that has internet? However, Russia seems to be the most active (or at least best recognizable)
  
  The US 'just' capitalizes it.
