Yes, they were unable, or too lazy, to trace it, and 4chan did it in 20 minutes
The world is a lot simpler once stop ascribing to malice what can be chalked up to incompetence
That's actually what happened, and you clearly don't understand the power of weaponized autism.
Want an example?

Experts say that while these trolls may use various methods to try and disguise their Russian identities, such as changing their IP addresses, they are easily tracked by their frequent screw-ups (some accidently put their location setting on in Twitter, use credit cards linked to the Russian government or write their posts in Cyrillic).

Quote
the company considers a user "Russia-linked" if any of the following criteria are met:
Quote
(1) the account had a Russian email address, mobile number, credit card, or login IP;
(2) Russia was the declared country on the account; or
(3) Russian language or Cyrillic characters appeared in the account information or name.


This is an incredibly sloppy methodology that relies on major linguistic sleight-of-hand. "Russia-linked" can easily mean that something has some sort of linkage to Russia -- its people, culture, language. In that way, a Russian restaurant in New York is "Russia-linked" because it serves Russian food. There is a link. But the way it is being used by those who are obsessed with finding Russian government meddling in the US election is to suggest that "Russia-linked" is "Russian government-linked." The two things are very different and conflating them is a massive logical fallacy. Would it not sound strange to refer to all American users of Twitter as "America-linked"? Clearly the implication is that "Russia-linked" users are agents of the Kremlin when in fact there is zero evidence to support such an assertion.

How many Twitter users might insert a bit of Cyrillic text into their account information or name who have nothing whatsoever to do with Russia? Who aren't even Russian citizens or residents? Who may actually despise Russia or its current government? What about American business persons operating in Russia? Might they have a credit card from a Russian bank? A Russian mobile phone number? What about US exchange students? What about European or African or Asian exchange students or business persons?

As Moscow-based Irish journalist Bryan MacDonald Tweeted:

I have a Russian phone, a mail.ru account, a Russian bank card, my location is Russia & I often use Cyrillic. Thus, I am obviously a bot. https://twitter.com/RealAlexRubi/status/925734441930186752

We are talking about millions of potential "false-positives" if this is the criteria used by social media to determine who is trying to undermine the American electoral system.

cool ronpaulinstitute.org, then this means your corporates & governements are incompetents isnt it?

- Cyrillic text has nothing to do with russia, even at statistical levels ! yay.
- [West] Journalists in Russia ? Theres probably thousands of them posting anti-clinton stuff, no doubt.

Time for you to go in congress with your papers, with Goonshill, just to teach them how facebook, google, and twitter are wrong !
