I’m not talking about my government, I’m talking about foreign ones.

Edit: also, where do you think your government gets all this information from?

I think you should be more concerned about the content they produce, not the data they get.

Also, did you read your own fucking comment? You asked why my government needs help from corporations to sway public opinion - my response simply clarified that foreign governments do.

Just look at what Russia did in 2016 as an example.
