Most of the coverage of Russian meddling involves their attempt to effect the outcome of the 2016 US election. I have seen all of the Russian ads and I can say very definitively that swaying the election was *NOT* the main goal.
The majority of the Russian ad spend happened AFTER the election. We shared that fact, but very few outlets have covered it because it doesn’t align with the main media narrative of Tump and the election.https://newsroom.fb.com/news/2017/10/hard-questions-russian-ads-delivered-to-congress/ …
The main goal of the Russian propaganda and misinformation effort is to divide America by using our institutions, like free speech and social media, against us. It has stoked fear and hatred amongst Americans. It is working incredibly well. We are quite divided as a nation.
The single best demonstration of Russia's true motives is the Houston anti-islamic protest. Americans were literally puppeted into the streets by trolls who organized both the sides of protest.https://www.sacurrent.com/the-daily/archives/2017/11/01/russian-trolls-organized-both-sides-of-an-islam-protest-in-texas …
The Russian campaign is ongoing. Just last week saw news that Russian spies attempted to sell a fake video of Trump with a hooker to the NSA. US officials cut off the deal because they were wary of being entangled in a Russian plot to create discord.https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/09/us/politics/us-cyberweapons-russia-trump.html …
There are easy ways to fight this. Disinformation is ineffective against a well educated citizenry. Finland, Sweden and Holland have all taught digital literacy and critical thinking about misinformation to great effect.http://foreignpolicy.com/2017/03/01/why-is-finland-able-to-fend-off-putins-information-war/ …
We are also taking aggressive steps to prevent this sort of meddling in the future by requiring verification of political advertisers and by making all ads on the platform visible to anyone who cares to examine them.https://newsroom.fb.com/news/2017/10/update-on-our-advertising-transparency-and-authenticity-efforts/ …
the majority of ads i saw pre election very pro hillary and very very anti trump, thats on google, u tube, twitter FB and tv... etc. i saw almost zero pro trump ads
Shows how targeting works if that is what was in your feeds
Even according to the shared link, a full 44% of the ads were pre Nov 8th. So only 4.4 million were exposed to this propaganda before the election? How is that comforting? We’re all witness to the insidious flexibility of the word “majority.” Don’t obfuscate.
You're really reaching ,how do you come up with that figure ? Just because ad could be on someone's post or timeline doesn't prove they saw it ,apparently Russians got more bang for the buck then presidential candidates who spent $1.2 bill. combined , REALLY ?
Bye, troll.
Making to much sense for another Democrat ,so right away I have to be a troll , 
GetOutUBum is demonstrating the point of a divided America perfectly. He is conditioned to see Russians in his oatmeal...
I think you should change your handle FROM 'robjective' to 'robNONobjectve' because all this is.. is your OPINION. Just because YOU say it does not make it objective. That's misrepresentative. You might understand that.
It's his opinion that the ad spend occurred after the election? That's either true or it isn't.
it's ONE thing he said in 3 tweets. You're reducing it to one item...? He's decided to interpret ALL the ads for everyone? I think I'd prefer to make my own decision on that. Seem fair?
