      In fairness, I and others only had the outlines of the case. Propert investigations of this kind are hard and require Facebook’s (and YouTube’s) cooperation which weren’t forthcoming.https://twitter.com/asheresque/status/1074714841728905216 …

      In May 2017 I attended a stunning DrupalCon keynote by @zeynep in which she laid out a credible case that the Trump 2016 disinformation effort was heavily targeted to African-American voters. Frustrating that it took @NYTimes so long to find the same facts. https://twitter.com/jaketapper/status/1074653872914923520 …

      Also I did write the outlines I had in NYT and Wired—including the key problem: our public sphere is now both mass and private in that it’s submerged in opaque platforms: Facebook, YouTube. That is a novel historical combination. Takes time to uncover problems and respond.

      zeynep tufekci Retweeted Brian Stelter

      Need to note how much of media missed a lot, too. Most of what happened happened pretty publicly. You had a lot of traditional media reporters falling for social media manipulation. (Quoting fake accounts, falling for narratives pushed by fake accounts).https://twitter.com/brianstelter/status/1074750934541053953 …

      Re-upping this @eosnos quote from earlier this year: "At the heart of the Russian fraud is an essential, embarrassing insight into American life: large numbers of Americans are ill-equipped to assess the credibility of the things they read."

      It's a historic transition. We'll catch up if we want to and put effort into it. This isn't that different in that way from previous media/public sphere transitions.
