Russian Trolls Working In Shifts

[VinceBordenIII]

A Russian 'troll slayer' went undercover at a troll factory and found that hundreds of Russians were working as paid trolls in rotating shifts

Savchuk believed her work would help Facebook understand how its platform could be gamed, but no longer believes the fight against trolls is winnable.

At the old UJ we used to have a guy in SFW named posthuman. I used to give him shit all the time that he was a paid Democrat operative because he would defend and deflect even the most egregious Democrat misdeeds. I called him The Loyal Soldier (CaptQuint has since picked up the slack). Finally, one day he let it slip that he was indeed some low level flunky for the Democrat party in Iowa.

Not sure what my point is but I suppose it shouldnt be a secret that organizations, companies and even entire countries are using people online to influence our opinions, purchases and/or decisions.

Sometimes they’re obvious, but they’re only going to get more sophisticated. The problem with detection is you have to know the motivation behind them.

Propaganda works? If you think the CIA, RNC, DNC and most governments don't have internet trolls (usually bots) pushing specific propaganda - you really haven't been paying attention. Twitter is literally full of party insiders who are paid to troll specific messages and repeat the party talking points for that week.

The US government has actively been involved in "regime change" for decades. We've overtly physically aided the protesting and overthrowing of foreign governments; sometimes militarily. But Russia bought Facebook ads!!!1!1!!1
I'm not excusing it or saying it's right but it's silly for us to claim some moral high ground or be indignant when we're on the other side.

Like Venezuela currently. Yemen, Syria, Libya, Iraq, Iran, Honduras in the past 18 years. The US has had trade sanctions on Venezuela since the Dubya Presidency and repeatedly keeps ratcheting it up and then says they are a failed government.

Note: major US media outlets pointed to a bridge that had never been opened - declared Venezuela closed it to prevent aid from entering. The propaganda is simply amazing.

Israeli probably with American help. Called the Stutnex virus. Brilliant. Set the Iranian nuclear program back years.

I think it was the Israeli's but yeah. Plus we've put an economic embargo on them and tried to stir up a coup attempt during the Obama years.

If you remember, the US (Bill Clinton) gave money and other aid to Yeltsin to make sure he won in Russia over hardliners.

In Brazil someone (cia) hacked into the government and Petrobras and gave oil industry documents to US oil companies so they could be more competitive.

Could you downplay it a little more? Putin will be angry. Russia's military hacked both our political parties Email servers and only leaked the DNC's because they knew the republicans would sell out their own country for easy reelections and dark money

Do you think its only buying AD space? Just think of 10 or 20 cheezys and bikers who go on Reddit, Facebook, Twitter and there soul objective it to start conversations or direct conversations to their false narratives backed up by the other trolls. Now the moron Americans who feed on Fox News and Breitbart are having their twisted delusional ideas reinforced by people they think are other "god fearing" Americans but they are just puppets being manipulated. Times that by 100's or thousands of trolls doing the same thing and you basically have Trumps base. Morons.

Here's the difference; Stapes and his ilk have pure, good intentions while RIGHT WINGERS!!111!!!11! are evil and want to kill brown and gay people

See the difference?

pretty much

[Stapes]

I also think it's kind of funny I have an "ilk" because I don't happen to like foreign adversaries/enemies infiltrating our domestic media but you guys are okay with it 'cause it benefitted your particular moron.

Are you at all familiar with the Russian influence and infiltrations of our academic institutions and students bodies of years past? To promote and advance Communism and Socialism? You know, influence those naive kids who then grow up to be good little Democrats who just happen to love and promote communism and socialism?

So all those naive little Democrats who were mislead by the filthy Communists grew up to be the Democrats that want to place heavy sanctions on Russia for interfering with our elections?Do you even stop to think what you are saying?

Could you downplay it a little more? Putin will be angry. Russia's military hacked both our political parties Email servers and only leaked the DNC's because they knew the republicans would sell out their own country for easy reelections and dark money

That is a ridiculous take.
