Is it okay for Russia to influence elections in the EU or the US by spreading misinformation?

This is also an instance of a group using its power.

I’m not sure why you’d lump that together here? Motivations and context and the actual facts of a particular situation matter. Nobody has said “no group can ever use their power” which is what you’re hearing. People have said “certain uses of power are morally wrong” which is why the specifics matter.
