Not in a happy, this is a good idea way but by the fact we now have proof of coordinated propaganda attacks being used to push certain narratives.
Judging from the initial release it was inspired by The Donald's memes - something the CIA already had reports on for meme infection spreading (Very boring read).
China was one of the incubators for narrative shaping and control via the Internet. It's why Google was so eager to do business with them. (after an initial pretense of "oh we shouldn't help the CCP, should we? do we dare? oh alright what could it hurt!!")
True, even Google searching for things which are new and ongoing will present no results because they haven't been approved by whoever it is that approves today's narrative.
Real shame, but I guess there will be another option or five soon enough.
Let's make sure it isn't drowned out/silenced or bought.
I'm impressed!

I think every institution is starting to develop it as a tactic. It's why the internet is becoming less and less useful.
I think we're way past the 'starting to' phase. Look at China's social credit scoring system.

Hey Brimshae, long time no see.
I completely agree. The West is copying the East regarding individuality and how important it is not within the collective.
