I would personally not use any information source which could potentially be under the control of either the Russian or Chinese government. Both governments are tightly controlled by strongmen who spread disinformation and propaganda (information warfare).

If Trump runs and is re-elected, the American companies like Google will be under the control of his government.

In that scenario, ironically, the Russians might end up being more free.
