Report on how FireMcMaster spread, w/its faults (I'll come back to) shows hashtag came from far right, NOT RU. https://medium.com/@DFRLab/firemcmaster-explained-9e9018e507c2 …
Also note: The Gizmo doesn't claim all the bots they follow are Russian. It is actually possible they're American.

Not just possible, explicitly state it includes people known to amplify themes knowingly or unknowingly, ie, Jack P http://securingdemocracy.gmfus.org/publications/methodology-hamilton-68-dashboard …
-
Except that's not what Jack P does. He often leads RU, doesn't follow (which is what he appeared to do here).
-
I agree, but what ratio would you require to include him? named him, btw, because twitter searching urls turned him up as obviously on list
-
It's not a ratio. it's that The Gizmo assumes anyone who agrees w/RU must be influenced by RU, not vice versa. It does so w/o evidence.
-
I don't think it does that at all. Their methodology page says they include people who may have merely benefited from RU amp, such as bots
-
No. They present it all as RU influence, ignoring that it often works in reverse.pic.twitter.com/LsQh6AeHv6
