As if the other interests are better. Eg Russian trolling ain't a commercial interest, it's a geopolitical one. Or [politics](https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/9weLK2AJ9JEt2Tt8f/politics-i...) in general.

The web of 1997 was so much more innocent, when we mostly had to worry about those 'evil' commercial interests.

Russian trolling as opposed to American trolling, Uzbeki trolling, Georgian trolling, and (worst of all) Belgian trolling?
