This is interesting material;

Those posts reached up to 126 million Americans

https://www.thestar.com/news/world/2017/11/01/us-senate-releases-trove-of-russian-facebook-ads-revealing-sophisticated-influence-campaign.html

Here's some "selected pieces"...


The ads, a sampling of some 3,000 purchased by Russians, provide the fullest picture yet of how foreign actors sought to promote Republican Donald Trump, denigrate Democrat Hillary Clinton and divide America.


Another ad, from a Russian-controlled group called Heart of Texas, announced a rally for May 21, 2016, under the banner of “Stop Islamization of Texas.” A separate Russian-controlled group, United Muslims of America, publicized a competing rally to “Save Islamic Knowledge” at the same place and time, causing the two groups to face off in competing demonstrations in Houston — a sign of how Russians hoped to turn divisions into open conflict.


"hey look that shit buddies"


“I don’t think you get it,” said Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein whose home state includes the headquarters for Facebook, Google and Twitter. “What we’re talking about is a cataclysmic change. What we’re talking about is the beginning of cyberwarfare. What we’re talking about is a major foreign power with sophistication and ability to involve themselves in a presidential election and sow conflict and discontent all over this country. We are not going to go away, gentlemen. And this is a very big deal.”


Those posts reached up to 126 million Americans, Facebook said, far more than the 10 million who saw the ads.


Three ads from a group called “Stop All Invaders” showed photos of woman wearing Islamic religious head-coverings, along with calls to action to stop the spread of Sharia law. “All face covering should be banned in every state across America!” read one ad, which had been shared more than 4,300 times and drummed up 14,000 likes alone.


DIVIDING

Yet another ad targeted the other end of the political spectrum with the creation of a “Black Matters” community page. It featured pictures of black men killed in high-profile police shootings, including Michael Brown, shot in Ferguson, Mo., in 2014, and Tamir Rice, a 12-year-old boy shot by Cleveland police that same year. The ad was targeted to a number of groups, including people who declared an interest in Martin Luther King Jr., Blacknews.com or HuffPost Black Voices.


A similar ad from a group called Blacktivist showed a black-and-white photo of militant Black Panthers with the words, “never forget that the Black Panthers, group formed to protect black people from the KKK, was dismantled by us govt but the KKK exists today.” It targeted people interested in African-American culture or Malcolm X. It was seen by nearly 300,000 people, according to Facebook data. More than 13,300 clicked on the ad.

NATIONAL SECURITY

Republican Sen. Richard Burr chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, told the lawyers, “This isn’t about re-litigating the 2016 U.S. presidential election. . . . This isn’t about who won or lost. This is about national security. This is about corporate responsibility. And this is about the deliberate and multi-faceted manipulation of the American people by agents of a hostile foreign power.”

White, Blacks, Christians, Muslims...

More than 300,000 people liked the fake Russian Facebook group United Muslims of America

Russian-controlled account called “Army of Jesus” showing Clinton dressed as Satan, with red horns and boxing gloves, appearing to punch Jesus
‘LIKE’ IF YOU WANT JESUS TO WIN!”


... And it's only the article, and only a small sample of all the russian activity.
Theres also much offensive content, calling to murder etc... Not being able to post it here probably.


Be smart ! Do you think the old lady is derailing ?

Gratz, you discovered propaganda. Give yourself a cookie.

When one of the presidential candidates diametrically opposes a powerhouse country, pledging military support & training to fight said country in not one but two proxy wars, is it some huge leap of imagination that the said country might have some predisposition on who's elected?

Talk about a bunch of sore losers

I posted about it in february. No cookies for you.

Btw those posts, agressive, divisive, would be unacceptable on television or radio, as example. Their influence is powerfull.
Even better:

Russia organized 2 sides of a Texas protest and encouraged 'both sides to battle in the streets'

Some folks will believe anything they see online. As Feinstein said... it has to be regulated, by you (social media firms) or by us (the govt.).
