Ils ont créé un narratif selon lequel le gvt, les plateformes & les membres de la société académique & civile comploteraient ensemble afin de "censurer" l'opinion publique américaine.

Why America must reassure, not just threaten, China.

This article details the impact, but the problem is simple: a handful of election deniers - some who hold Congressional gavels - are running smear campaigns targeting election workers and researchers, to ensure they are able to act unopposed in 2024. It’s about power.
