An investigation by The New York Times, and new research from the cybersecurity firm FireEye, reveals some of the mechanisms by which suspected Russian operators used Twitter and Facebook to spread anti-Clinton messages and promote the hacked material they had leaked. On Wednesday, Facebook officials disclosed that they had shut down several hundred accounts that they believe were created by a Russian company linked to the Kremlin and used to buy $100,000 in ads pushing divisive issues during and after the American election campaign.

On Twitter, as on Facebook, Russian fingerprints are on hundreds or thousands of fake accounts that regularly posted anti-Clinton messages. Many were automated Twitter accounts, called bots, that sometimes fired off identical messages seconds apart — and in the exact alphabetical order of their made-up names, according to the FireEye researchers. On Election Day, for instance, they found that one group of Twitter bots sent out the hashtag #WarAgainstDemocrats more than 1,700 times.

The Russian efforts were sometimes crude or off-key, with a trial-and-error feel, and many of the suspect posts were not widely shared. The fakery may have added only modestly to the din of genuine American voices in the pre-election melee, but it helped fuel a fire of anger and suspicion in a polarized country.

Straight up, I really wish the gaming industry as a whole tell these fucks to get bent and refuse to work with them.

My parents were watching Bannon on 60 minutes and his defense for not being a racist was that he went to desegregated schools and that there were black people who lived in the same town as him.

 

Most on the ground reporters are saying similar:

But that police account is ridiculous and always, always tweets stupid over the top shit ...

Local freelancers/writers/etc. are good follows:

 

The pundits like it.

 

Today was the day Steve Bannon became president

 

Any chance bitter primaries make R seats less safe?

 

He didn't even really defend him, just trashed Republicans and refused to say anything bad about him out of loyalty.

 

Sessions mulling lie detector test for entire NSC staff: report

If you think Israel is anything other than a state predicated on racial cleansing, I don't know what to tell you

Israeli minister Shaked takes after Mussolini

 

Sitting ten feet away from Paul bagela right now. Just makes me hate Democrats that much more. Surprisingly he hasn't blamed Bernie yet for all the world's problems.

 

Jesus Christ he just proposed we have voluntary compulsory military service for free education. Liberalism everyone.

Haha my thoughts exactly. God this whole we need more female CEOs and soldiers drivel makes me sick.
