This is just manufactured hysteria by the government and MSM to justify further attacks on privacy and regulating content on the internet. The masses will again be fear mongered into giving up their rights lest these shadowy foreign actors brainwash them into committing wrongthink. Just give it time, the goal is to kill anonymity on the internet.
Even if you assume the best case scenario and the government has good intentions, it still means our leaders think the people they represent are too stupid to filter info and form their own opinions.
