Am I missing something? It sounds like Russia made some posts on TikTok but then they say Russia took "aggressive hybrid action" without explaining it. Is that just a scary way of saying tiktok posts? This article is so vauge about what Russia allegedly did that was "aggressive".
If a foreign government making posts on tiktok is enough to make an election illegitimate, then do they really think their previous election was legitimate? Surely there was some bad actor doing the same thing in previous elections?
The difference is who won. We cannot have interference and the wrong candidate winning, can we ?
Also, in this case the spotlight is on one candidate only. There were two condidates that had much more spending on TikTok but nobody is looking at the source of those funds.
