Basically all we have done is denounce all alternative media sites and all alt. viewpoints on Russia as fake news. Most adults believe this is so and kids naturally trust their teachers and parents. Yes, it is very effective. I think it's marvellous, of course. Just marvellous.

Thanks. From what you describe, it seems the big thing is high consensus, collective recognition of a national threat. A motivation to act that also has externalities for many areas of informed citizenship (sci, med). In US, seems that consensus still low.https://news.gallup.com/poll/247100/majority-americans-consider-russia-critical-threat.aspx …

Agree. Like many things, the US is slow to respond. Ultimately, I think that's where we are heading. To rely on simply random market responses (consumer movements to eg quit Facebook) and self-enacted corporate responsibility isn't going to work.
