Trump is beginning to get touchy about the tabulation of verifiable lies … as the history of other network shenanigans occurs online and as one can see, it happens synchronously, making collusion not so different from coordination, cooperation, and connection. Winks and nods.
And have you yet forgotten all those other issues that are part of the fake-news eco-system, including how social media is only one form of Big Data and a rhetorical attack is only one form of an information commodity whereas hacking can “steal” many disparate forms.
In the world of financial crime, the path to election fraud goes through a micro-target wielded by perhaps the same IT personnel and reveals itself in ransomware as but one example, a tool that can also be an instrument of lawfare (see Russian sanctions). At what moment is there non-state and state-sponsored cyber terror when data becomes a security risk (GOP vendors making US voter data accessible on vulnerable servers)
The Trump 2016 campaign and 2017 WH is but a disorganized sign of much more organized criminal networks piggy-backed onto Bigly data manipulation. Sad! is how Agent Orange keeps telling us not to look behind the digital curtain of “The Cyber”. Even if CTs are the result of fuzzy numbers, there is a fuzzy logic that makes Trump more than the product of a smart toaster.
