Gettin those excuses ready

Facebook said Tuesday that it had discovered a sophisticated coordinated disinformation operation on its platform involving 32 false pages and profiles engaging in divisive messaging ahead of the U.S. midterm elections.
The social media company that it couldn’t tie the activity to Russia, which interfered on its platform around the 2016 presidential election. But Facebook said the profiles shared a pattern of behavior with the previous Russian disinformation campaign, which was led by a group with Kremlin ties called the Internet Research Agency.
Facebook briefed congressional aides this week. A congressional aide said that there’s no evidence that political candidates were targeted in the new disinformation effort but that pages and accounts sought to spread politically divisive content around social issues.

The Russian interference narrative is by far the dumbest political narrative I've ever seen in my life. So manufactured.

How long before Facebook and Twitter officially become their own intelligence agency within the US government?

I totally voted for Trump because of a random Facebook page

No joke, I was watching a video a lady I know posted before lunch with an interview of a black man in a MAGA hat asking him what it would take to make America great again. He started talking about slavery and how he has never been a slave...and all of a sudden the FB app shutdown. I reopened it and the video was gone.
Very strange.

Russia said they didn't do that, and I don't see why they would

I agree, with that being said, can anyone at Facebook start planting things like this to make Trump look like he is colluding with Russia, or maybe make it look like Russia is doing more than they actually are?

American people, this is nothing more than a prelude to FB taking down and banning any conservative speech or web page dialogue, while promoting and praising all left wing shite they can. Mark my words.

They're saying 290K people followed these 32 pages...
MY GOD...290K...spread out over how much of the US?!?
