It's creepy as fuck to think that the messages you get from your friends are, while not propaganda itself, shaped by propagandistic forces. We saw this first with the feed algorithms, that would filter out friends wrongspeaking, and promote friends rightspeaking. People wisened up and moved to group chats. Now with these keyboards, even the group chats will be controlled.

And at the same time, because of quarantines, the last safe outlet we have - speaking to each other IRL, is being taken from us. Very dark times ahead.
