I mean, not surprising. US, China, Russia, and other super powers, probably have their agencies on it.

So your justification is that it’s okay since other countries are probably™ doing it?

[-] traveler01@lemdro.id -1 points 1 year ago

Did I say it was fine? I said I'm not surprised.

[-] NothingButBits@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 1 year ago

you guys are either bots or on a payroll. Whenever some negative news about the CIA is posted, there's always a comment saying it's ok because China and Russia are worse.

If you believe any of them are saints, you're re...

Compared to the US? Definitely. Just ask any African.

So Russians are good for you? It’s too easy to brainwash people…

[-] NothingButBits@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 1 year ago

They never did anything against me or my country. I have absolutely no reason to hate or distrust Russians. I don't understand how I'm brainwashed.

They haven’t? they’re causing global food prices going up by doing terrorist attacks in Ukraine.

Russians are assholes, and the Ukrainians who liked them discovered that the wrong way.

Source?

[-] traveler01@lemdro.id -2 points 1 year ago

I said "probably". But considering that Russia has troll farms to spread bs on social networks and China is constantly trying to hack stuff in order to spy (and even Huawei products have shady backdoors in them), I wouldn't be surprised that they're doing the same.

Again, source?

I'm not reading that first source because I'm not involving myself in this conversation except to point out that this dailymail article mentions Russians, as in, the people. It doesn't say that it is the government. When average joe citizens in the USA vandalize Wikipedia people don't say that the USA is vandalizing it.
