    This will go nowhere in the U.S.  --  Trump relies on a network of paid Russian, Saudi and right wing trolls to spread divisiveness, propaganda and Alternative Facts in order to gain and retain control of our country.   (Ads and surveys are only a superficial, top layer of that network.)
    I’d be more worried about the attempted coups that the FBI, CIA, and the DNC almost pulled off. 
    Take your conspiracy theories elsewhere. 
    So the Russia thing wasn’t a conspiracy? Please.

    Is that what the paid Russian trolls told you or the paid right wing trolls?

    Well I guess we’ll find out soon enough, once those FISA docs are declassified.

    That won't stop the paid trolls (both Russian and right wing) from spreading their lies and conspiracy theories to the KoolAid drinkers.   That's the thing about propaganda and conspiracy theories -- they only have to have just enough fact to make them credible to the gullible, but the truth is irrelevant.

    But the bottom line is that it is a new form of warfare -- or more correctly an old form that has been taken to a whole new level with technology.  That is why it needs the government attention that Facebook is asking for -- they can't fight that war on their own.
