Congress releases the 3,000 Facebook ads the Russians bought

Congress just dropped the Russian trolling motherlode.

Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee released on Thursday more than 3,000 Facebook ads from 2015 to late 2017 bought by the Russia-based Internet Research Agency (IRA). The company, which is linked to Russia-backed propaganda efforts across social media, used these ads on Facebook -- and on Facebook-owned Instagram -- to try to create political chaos and hurt US democracy, lawmakers said.

i wonder how many of the rubes on this forum have parroted those ads.

Epic.

Yea, those look a lot like what we see the wingers here put up. "Hillary is the great Satan! Help Trump win for Jesus!"

I bet if you started a thread with one of the ads in the OP every one of the rubes would be duped again

 

[g5000]

The Facebook ads appear to have continued all the way through the third quarter of 2017. A year after Trump was elected.

Here's a Russian ad from May of 2017:

Ad ID 1261
Ad Text If you don't want refugees, stop creating them! Hands off Syria!
Please, come out to support us on June 3rd in front of Trump Tower in New
York. We must stop this madness! Some believed Trump would withdraw the
U.S. from useless and bloody military campaigns. But what we see is only the
enhancement of hostility. We don't need wars no more! We want peace! It's
time for politicians to take care of the U.S. residents instead of fating them, as
well as other nationals, to death.
We're organizing a peaceful gathering to draw public attention to the abovementioned
terrible problem. Our President and Congress must listen to those
who granted them power - us, the people. If you also think that there should
only be peace, come with us and let's make it happen.
Stop war! Stop killing the innocent! Make peace, not war! Make peace, not
war!


People Who Match: Interests: Civil and political rights, Human rights,
Anarchism, Nonviolence, Stop the War Coalition, Anti-fascism, Pacifism,
Peace movement, The Anarchy, World peace, Anti-war movement, Feminism,
PeaceOnEarth or Be a Peacekeeper - The World Peacekeepers Movement
And Must Also Match: Politics: Likely to engage with political content (liberal)

You're about as worrisome as an autistic termite in a coma, but if USMB forum searches are what gets your vagina all wet & slippery, knock yourself out.
