    The best propaganda tool is obviously the internet: anonymous, spreads far and wide, can be automated

      I think the biggest risk is the Internet as a propaganda tool disguised as word of mouth ‘grassroots’ opinions.

      “Word of mouth” imo includes direct person to person interaction on social media. Your Facebook friends, a sidebar on reddit or lemmy, a DM

      That’s how I’ve always used the term.
