I hate to break it to you though; I grew up during the Cold War and propaganda was literally everywhere before the invention of the internet. Perhaps you’ve heard of the Red Scare?
For sure, I even said so.

I know it had always been there. But social media has made it so much more efficient. It’s hard to compare it with traditional media.
That, I’m afraid, is the nature of technology: it makes everything easier, even the stuff you really wish it didn’t.
