quote [ In the wake of Wednesday's Parkland, Florida school shooting Russian bots have taken to Twitter to stoke the gun control debate.
Public awareness that antagonistic bots flood the Twitter debate hasn’t stopped them from achieving their goals of ratcheting up the vitriol—even amid a live tragedy like the Parkland shooting. The goal, after all, isn't to help one side or the other of the gun control debate win. It's to amplify the loudest voices in that fight, deepening the divisions between us. ] Besides the gun violence that those in power won't do anything about, there's also the ongoing Russian disinformation campaign the same people won't do anything about. It's almost as if they don't want it to stop.

I find it horrifying how little response there has been to repeated warnings by the intelligence agencies that the Russians are engaging in cyberwar against the US.

Unilever Will Pull Funds from Social Media That 'Breed Division'
Worlds second biggest ad spender wants social media to cut it out. Unilever will stop spending on digital platforms that "breed division in society or fail to protect children," Chief Marketing Officer Keith Weed plans to announce in a speech to the IAB Annual Leadership Meeting in Palm Desert, Calif., on Monday. |

Clearly, so many that they've gone back in time and pulled agents off all the investigations into the other hundreds of mass shootings over the years.

They can't walk and chew gum at the same time.
I mean, it's not like the FBI is the premier federal intelligence agency tasked with investigating MORE THAN ONE THING A TIME, right? It's just some two bit, third world operation. Yeah, that's it. Lets propagandize that, and repeat it incessantly to distract from gun control. Because you know, NOW is not the time to talk about it. We'll wait until. . .Oh by the way, did I say the FBI is an organization in disarray, and it can't handle anything because it's partisan? Should I repeat that a few times with spaces above and below? |
