Putin is Russia

[Day]

Before election Russia spent 46k on Facebook, Clinton and Trump combined spent 81 Million. Perspective.

Yes, but don't forget the demographics side of this investigation. Wasn't Kushner reported to have something to do with helping them with demographics? They reached almost half the population with their small amount of dollars spent. That's fucking insane.

[Day]

They got their money's worth without a doubt, we are still talking about it a year later.

[Salodin]

Holy shit russia did the same in the Spain/Barcelona ordeal as well. Damn man where is the news reporting on this shit?

[Day]

Is Russia the only country doing this, slightly annoyed they are the only focus here, we have other enemies that probably don't have clean hands in all this.

1980's called etc...

Idk about using these platforms to sow unrest, but N. Korea loves to hack shit. There was just a story of N. Korea hacking a south korean company and stealing hundreds of documents on n. korea elimination strategies, warship and warplane schematics, etc. China loves to steal proprietary information as well, new companies setting up shop in China deal with this all the time.

[Zetanio]

They are the only one's doing it so openly. I would bet every major power does this.

[Salodin]

Man this whole committee is just giving the 3 companies free reign to take care of this and make everything known and public. Right now I thought the committee was holding the specific ads back, but I guess it's the companies that don't want to release them yet?

Tom Cotton dayum lol. Calling them out on getting RT/Sputnik to buy in last year.

[Day]

Here are the ads house dems released today

[Aerin]

So, even if they are able to block ads originating from a specific geographic location, couldn't they still just have a few people in the US buy the ads instead?

[Salodin]

The way it was described, if the content is illegal in that geolocation it will automatically be blocked. The speed in which something is flagged at illegal, idk.

Twitter troll Jenna Abrams, who had amassed more than 70,000 followers, was exposed following an investigation into Russian interference in last year’s presidential election by the US senate Intelligence Committee.

The Daily Beast reports that Abrams, whose account was created in 2014, was the brainchild of the Russian government-funded Internet Research Agency in St Petersburg.

Her viral tweets on topics from Kim Kardashian’s naked selfie to feminism were picked up by mainstream media outlets and helped grow her online following, but her messages quickly became more political in the run-up to the election.

Before Donald Trump was elected in November last year, Ms Abrams created division and disunity with posts on contentious issues like the Confederate flag debate, segregation and Black Lives Matter.
