With her Christian Democratic Union party facing increasing losses at the hands of German voters fed up with zero economic growth and state-run facilities bursting at the seams handling millions of Middle Eastern war refugees, German Chancellor Angela Merkel has begun shaking a stick at the Internet:
Merkel cautioned that public opinion was being ‘manipulated’ on the internet. ‘Something has changed — as globalisation has marched on, (political) debate is taking place in a completely new media environment. Opinions aren’t formed the way they were 25 years ago,’ she said.
Europe’s bureaucrats were one step ahead, and in a shocking move, on Wednesday the EU Parliament voted on a non-legislative resolution which calls for the EU to ‘respond to information warfare by Russia.’ Russian news websites RT and Sputnik news agency were alleged to be among the most dangerous ‘tools of Russian propaganda.’
