Oh wow, I did not read the source Reuters article and yeah it's a Chinese project.

This is the kind of stuff that should make Americans evaluate whether their orthodox and somewhat parochial approach to "free speech" (the polemical definition as opposed to the broad concept) needs updating to reflect modern realities.

Even before AI and digitization, there were many examples of how an American interpretation of free speech was clearly lacking, but this AI spam and strategic methods used by russia/China are going to make these deficiencies a much more pressing matter.
