House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and four witnesses warned at a virtual hearing on Oct. 15 that domestic internet “disinformation campaigns are dismantling democracy.”

Schiff opened the hearing by claiming that “over the past several years, a disturbing picture has emerged. While the threat from without in the form of state-backed media, online operatives, and trolls is real and substantial, we cannot ignore the threat from within, which grows more pernicious every day.”
