read about the pro-immigration and anti-immigration groups that were both Russian disinformation campaigns and made facebook groups for competing rallies on the same day st the same place. Actual, real-world conflict took place in America because of the Internet Research Agency.
Just wait until deepfake videos come online and become prevalent

It's the fact that social media was so easily infiltrated, and built upon, that is worrying to me.

I don't have the answer for that.
The progressives love to endear change on things/ideas that are not working.
As a private business, I believe there should be a better vetting process, especially one that's worth 100 billion dollars and is as easily accessible as Facebook.

That's a bad example. Everyone hangs up on those people, it's a joke at this point.

I enjoyed the part about 'confederate rallies' where 'a few, if any, to a few hundred showed up' excerpt.
I'm really shocked at how easy it was for Russia to just bust a nut all over the American internet.
Does America not have computer geeks better than Russia?

Right, so. If I spend 100k and am able to possibly reach 126MM people, as a business owner, I'd be ecstatic.
I'm not saying they monies spent influenced votes.
I'm saying 100k to Russia is what Putin wipes his arse with.

These supposed events that Russians planned, no one showed up.
It's all a complete farce.

Your entire premise is that a $140 Billion dollar company needs to know that they are a pawn in geopolitical warfare over $100,000 spent over months.
I hope you're joking.

Not at all. 100k is unnoticeable, I made that clear.
If you're OK with 100k being spent then you would be OK with 100 million, or 1 billion spent. That would get your attention?
Money spent isn't my issue.

let me know when you get to the part about all the other fake accounts and the list of other countries that ran ads.
also, the percentage of overall FB impressions these "hundreds of thousands" post represent.

None of it should have been spent.
But your post said Facebook should be forced to delete its platform because of it

Have you considered what they actually did? Or how little of it they actually did? And what that might indicate about what their actual objective was?
Newsflash... It wasn't about the election itself. It was about getting this narrative going. They manipulated the Democrats to bite on this to make our elections questionable when in fact they are literally only hackable in the theoretical. In reality, it can't happen in any scale that would matter. This was the best ROI on PPC advertising anyone ever got. It's still paying off because the Democrats are making sure of it.

So would anyone else on the planet. That would be some badass ROI. Unfortunately that number they are referring to is almost certainly 'impressions'. Not click throughs.
Tell me an online add you saw on the side of the page for the first time day before yesterday....
More than likely, you can't. Well guess what pal, you got an impression so if that was a russian ad, you are now part of the statistic.
Do you see how insanely stupid this shite is? They might as well have sent a dozen balloons that went overhead with a letter attached.

The amount they bought, if it was even a coordinated effort, was so small it made zero difference in anything
