Russia, China and North Korea routinely hack our most secret and protected government and private internet accounts in the US. Privacy is a "thing of the past."
Politicians like Donald Trump claim that all that "hacking" makes no difference in the real world. Yet elections are lost or won because of them; public opinion is shaped by outright lies and the innuendos of false news. The public is unable to decipher the difference between "truth" or "falsehood." And the world glides on into a "post-truth" era. And the opportunists take advantage of the public's confusion and incorporate and inveigle their own agenda onto the public venues.
And we are, apparently, powerless to fight the obvious and endemic flow of "s__t" descending upon us.
