@p @laurel >I don't think non-English places have that going on: maybe you get US military intelligence doing psyops on VK or Weibo or whatever, but it's not *everyone*, continuously, all at the same time. I can't read Russian, but Japanese discussions are free of this kind of thing.
Certainly happens in runet, even if not to the same degree. The "+15" meme, referencing the amount of rubles paid agents in the likes of Lakhta-Center get per post, is decades old. They were a lot less subtle, however. And I have no doubts same happens on the other side of political autism spectrum, especially nowadays when you still have plenty of unbeaten hohols in CIPSO (who all speak the same language anyway).
