@davidpakman - Do you think there's any basic defense of a foreign power (*cough* Russia *cough*) here at Steemit with respect fake news, like what happened in the 2016 elections? Or do you think we're just as vulnerable now as we were then - or maybe even moreso that upclicks of fake news will actually be generating money for additional propaganda?

Our only saving grace right now is the fact that these guys are a bunch of total idiots. If there was someone even halfway competent in power, we would be doomed.

Frankly, I'm a bit worried!
