Very good thread on why Russia's social media interference was (likely) a minor factor in 2016. I would rank other factors (Comey, Wikileaks, & Clinton campaign's faulty strategy) as far more important.https://twitter.com/NateSilver538/status/1074833714931224582 …

They all kind of fed each other though too. If social media just spouted off random theories unconnected to where Trumps agenda was going it’d be easier to examine in isolation.

I wonder how effective the social media stuff was in amplifying the hacked emails. I don't think the disinfo or memes played a meaningful role, but the leaks certainly did, and if the accounts helped draw attention to the leaks, then the social media stuff mattered.
