    Pay attention to this. I think this is more common than people think, and not just RU doing this—some is for the lulz.https://twitter.com/katestarbird/status/954804195269361664 …

    When Twitter released the 1st batch of accounts related to the RU-IRA troll factories, we cross-referenced those with our #BlackLivesMatter & #BlueLivesMatter data and… some of the most active & most influential accounts ON BOTH SIDES were RU-IRA trolls. http://faculty.washington.edu/kstarbi/examining-trolls-polarization.pdf …

        The true definition of a troll is someone who gets both sides attacking each other. Making fake accounts is super easy, and well within the realm of possibility just to screw with people. And yeah, there are people out there who truly enjoy doing it.

        Also ostensibly left sites such as Crooked Timber allowed themselves to be weaponized against Clinton on the “left” grounds that she was at least as much of a neoliberal and warmonger than Trump. Still to establish how many commenters were RU trolls

        Totally agree. We’re working on a typology, but motivations for this kind of online behavior include ideology (sincerely spreading msg), political (insincerely spreading msg), financial, entertainment, social/reputational, and to feel/be powerful. Likely others.

        I would think attributing motivation could be quite a minefield.

        A start would be Twitter shutting down the bot API, anavling stronger authentication.

        This is an interesting suggestion. Twitter’s API grew up in an era that stressed integration, but most of the networks have retreated since. Instagram doesn’t allow API publishing, for example.

        It's almost like the 'bots" are going where the most internet drama is. Not shaping opinions, just latching on to them.
