Friendly reminder that #RadioFreeAsia, #RadioLiberty, and #RadioFreeEurope, as well as Voice of America (#VOA) are all entirely US-funded propaganda organizations, created during the cold war to blast #propaganda at the eastern bloc, and are the source of those wacky contradictory NK haircut stories, fake leader disappearances, etc. Take posts from them with extreme caution - denouncing russia does not mean the support of US soft or hard power and historical #imperialism.

So what are the (geo)political consequences of having widely distributed pieces of software like Tor, Signal and others being mostly funded by US Gov and the CIA (through RFA -> OTF)?..

These questions are asked openly in this article by Y. Lavine (to take with a grain of salt, like all the rest indeed...)
