New Reports Detail Expansive Russia Disinformation Scheme Targeting U.S.

Two new reports produced for Senate investigators say that Russian influence efforts infected every major social media platform, extensively targeted African-Americans and amounted to what researchers called a "propaganda war against American citizens."

The reports, which were drawn up by private cybersecurity firms on behalf of the Senate intelligence committee, offer the most comprehensive look yet at Russia's online influence operations.

They are based on information provided by the panel and the social media companies themselves.

The reports confirm the U.S. spy agencies' overarching conclusions that Russia's efforts ahead of the 2016 election aimed to sow discord, hurt Hillary Clinton and help Donald Trump.

They also echo a warning that U.S. officials have been giving for months: that Moscow's nefarious online activity did not end on Election Day but rather continue to target Americans to this day.

and we continue to give putin and trump their ill-gotten victory. For my money, I'd prefer we have a Pres Clinton. After all, the Russians sure don't like her. That's even more reason for me. All this to stop her primarily, must be she knows something most of us don't.
America has sullied our victor by allowing her win to be stolen w mantras about not visiting Wisc and Mich. At the end of the day, how do we make all this right w her? I'm STILL w her. She deserves to be President, and I want for her what any one of us would expect for ourselves. It's time we start dialoging on how to make it right imho.
