(6,819 posts)24. I wish someone would do some research on the Russian trolls and bots
I wish someone had some time to research some of the Russian trolls and automated bots on social media. If you find an usual combination of words, you can often trace an individual to numerous account names across various platforms.
Some Breitbart associates seem to keep a stable of facebook profiles that they bring out on special occasions.
The Ruskies also use some automated bots to post comments in many online conversations when a controversy arises.
