IRA allegedly also ran kitten appreciation groups. Are we also to believe that these kittens were also a plot to divide America? To not distinguish between audience building and customer advertising payload is sketchy.
The US has 320 million people with a trillion dollar media and cultural sector that employees over a million people. I do not assess that it is possible whatsoever to divide America by trying to "heighten the differences" with a hundred trolls.
Re-enforcing audience bias is exactly what Facebook & Google have been doing at a vast scale by algorithmically preying on people's existing biases to increase engagement. In a more traditional manner, FOX, MSNBC, CNN, NYTimes, WaPO etc, are doing the same thing.
Regardless of whether IRA's activities were audience building through pandering to communities or whether a hare-brained Russian government plan to "heighten the differences" existed, its activities are clearly strategically insignificant compared to the other forces at play.
5 major corporations pick and chose which stories to run & not run, telling us how to think. That's way more damaging than to our republic, than Russian troll farms can ever be.
No the Dems. & MSM puppets did that for the Russians
The US gov itself is a troll.
The MSM does that very well all by itself. And the sheeple follow the pied piper right over the cliff.
Imagine if 320 million people United to take back control of our govt, what we the people could accomplish.
The government is pissed they can't control social media.
It is one thing to get a group to follow the lie, a whole other problem to get one to think for themselves.
