* The wording is clearly my own

1. Expected. Probably something Putin & Trump agreed to.

2. And that's probably only 1 1/100th

of what really's going on.

F-ck FB. I only go on FB when it's my B-day to thank the people who took the time to wish me a happy birth day.

3. GOPers are cheering!

4. Well, color me surprised. Especially in light of how hard Trump has been on Russia.

[triron]

5. This is NOT just disinformation.

It is part of a multi-pronged effort to keep Repukes in power and destroy democratic alliances.

12. Now I am second guessing. Facebook may be trying to pull a fast one over on us.

Anyone else suspicious about the evident pro-left bias many of the supposed accounts facebook
is exposing?

6. I'll start believing FB is serious when they remove homegrown propagandists from their site as well.

Banning Alex Jones for just 30 days doesn't cut it. I get banned for 30 days when I post a picture of a Renaissance painting with a nipple showing. Alex Jones stating that the Sandy Hook children who were victims were really child actors, Pizzagate, etc. is reprehensible and deserves banning for life. Ratfucking American democracy....not just for Russians. Book of Faces is giving very surface attention to stopping fake news.

9. The question is, how home grown is Alex Jones and the like?

It's pretty clear he's exactly the type of "talent" Russia likes to use as middle men. Just like they used the NRA. I won't be surprised as Facebook, you tube, etc... start attacking the Russian troll farm that the Russians focus on using what they learned from the NRA work last election and go out and recruit/find many more "home grown" talent to pose as proxies.

15. I'll admit

I'd forgotten to consider that....you are correct....there probably is a strong connection....book of faces needs to make that connection too.....

7. So how hard would it be

for Russia to send some GRU people to Cuba or Venezuela and stand up a datacenter? It seems most of the detection activity is based on the time zones the activity is coming from. For instance, if a lot of trolls post at noon Moscow time, what happens when they move it to noon Eastern time or Central time

8. Shut it down until we get this sorted out.

What those rat bastards are doing is an act of war. Calling it "meddling" is downplaying the severity of the situation. Facebook and Twitter both need to get their shit together.

[lagomorph777]

11. War. Not meddling. Dammit.

[lagomorph777]

10. Golly, I'm shocked! Shocked!

[sakabatou]

13. Your winnings sword

[GoCubsGo]

14. Again?

I don't believe they ever stopped. I've been seeing them all along.
