Why We’re Sharing 3M Russian Troll Tweets (fivethirtyeight.com)

This is probably the most unpopular thing I will ever say on HN but sometimes I feel like we shouldn’t allow internet traffic across borders so liberally.

I realize that it restricts freedom online but I feel like propaganda aimed at the citizens of the US will continue and only become more effective.

Is it worth having cross border traffic if it costs destroying the country? Is there a better solution?

Blocking traffic from select countries will not solve anything. They can trivially pivot off compromised U.S machines.
