      Of course the new report being blared across the media to fuel yet another round of panic over Russian memes was produced by a "cybersecurity startup" raising boatloads of VC money to suppress "fake news" on behalf of corporate clients. And the founder is former NSA official.pic.twitter.com/h4WLWDEYrQ

      Note how the firm markets its services. They will help corporate brands "mitigate malign narratives" that spread online. "Malign" is not necessarily the same as "fake," but the clients will be the ultimate arbiters of truth value in this scenario.pic.twitter.com/tFWP2i55VQ

      Do you think producing a major report about Russian trolls on behalf of the Senate will help "New Knowledge" obtain new, lucrative clients, especially those doing business with the government? Yeah, probably. Do you think that will be disclosed anywhere in the media reports...?

      Do you think the founder's background in the federal counter-terrorism apparatus perhaps informs his perspective? Maybe motivates him to help the United States "brand" root out "malign narratives"? Seems likely. But sure, it's an independent report, so everybody freak out (again)pic.twitter.com/70vEbtnem3

          https://twitter.com/yashalevine/status/1074695761210892288 … The NYT piece also goes back a few decades on how the Russians hyped racism without noting that was the claim made by the FBI which was smearing MLK and others as helping the Russians for demanding civil rights.

          The of course is the minor detail: the company is founded by State Department operatives and spies. Here we have a very clear case of homegrown meddling in our democracy — a nexus of spycraft and corporate profits. pic.twitter.com/D31CgZ7FK3
