The US government isn't in charge of one of the largest social media platforms in the world. US corporations are absolutely doing this as well, but that's an argument for more regulation not to grant China free reign
The US intelligence & propaganda machines dwarf those of all other states, just as the US military dwarfs those of all other states. And they don’t only direct it at other countries, they direct it inward, too. “Russiagate” was a domestic psyop directed at its own people, to manufacture our consent to censorship.

The US most definitely uses its surveillance and propaganda system to influence the public. This was all exposed a long time ago.
The thought that Russia influences AOTUS is a conspiracy is probably one of the more bonker things I have ever heard though.
For sure stories were made up but anything short of of acknowledging that Russia has financially supported and heavily influenced everything about the current administration is pure conservatard garbage.
Exactly this. This is their only argument against it, and it's trash. Yeah, no shit, we know they are all doing it. Yes, we all agree that they should be dealt with as well.
