Dmitri Alperovitch: Influence operations are ‘par for the course’

“I think it’s become normalized now. With every election you’re going to have influence operations, not just from China and Russia, but from Iran, maybe even North Korea in the future. You’re going to have social media disinformation; you’re going to have influence operations by targeting voters directly … That has just become par for the course. I think most people, especially in this election have made up their mind who they’re going to vote for and I doubt that influence operations from China or anywhere else are going to affect that decision at this point.” - Dmitri Alperovitch
