Why doesn't the CIA have a department focused on identifying and rebutting social media propaganda? It's one of the greatest threats we face as a country (cheaper and easier than foreign terrorist attacks), along with cyberattacks, yet the CIA seems (once again) unable to adapt to the new threat landscape. I'm really beginning to wonder if the US wouldn't be better served by outsourcing most of its intelligence work. Our institutions are so badly run, so broken by institutional rot, and so continually stuck in reactive mode...the trillions we spent on the 'war on terror' yielded a very poor return on investment. There are dangers in outsourcing this work, but can these dangers be worse than the current status quo?
Thanks Clint, perfect timing to keep aware on platforms as the China markets (yesterday) effecting globally, and today UN speech. Salutes .
