Not really. Not what I was talking about, but also, not really. All it would take is a couple hundred computers and access to malleable people. Most governments could manage the first, and Twitter and Facebook tend to consolidate the second. I'd say just about any country that isn't considered third-world could move a large portion of the American populace if they wanted.
It’s the US government that heavily influences what content gets promoted/demoted/censored on US corporate social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, YouTube, Instagram, etc., and that is why anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist software developers created Lemmy in the first place.
