Is Facebook under pressure from the Russians?
I don't remember seeing anything about this here, so it may be old news or non-news. If so, apologies.
Facebook received a lot of funding from the Russians when they were starting up. I have no idea what the "ownership" arrangements were, or if it's all been paid back by now. However, given the recent attention given to trolling on FB, is it possible that the Russians are putting pressure on FB to downplay content that's being perceived as trolling?
I'm not on FB, so I don't see any of the stuff posted there, but I have to wonder f there are any dots to connect. Or if they were already connected.
