Facebook Shares Details Of Russia-Bought Ads With US Investigators (cnn.com)
An anonymous reader quotes CNN:
Special counsel Robert Mueller and his team are now in possession of Russian-linked ads run on Facebook during the presidential election, after they obtained a search warrant for the information. Facebook gave Mueller and his team copies of ads and related information it discovered on its site linked to a Russian troll farm, as well as detailed information about the accounts that bought the ads and the way the ads were targeted at American Facebook users, a source with knowledge of the matter told CNN. The disclosure, first reported by the Wall Street Journal, may give Mueller's office a fuller picture of who was behind the ad buys and how the ads may have influenced voter sentiment during the 2016 election...
As CNN reported Thursday, Facebook is still not sure whether pro-Kremlin groups may have made other ad buys intended to influence American politics that it simply hasn't discovered yet. It is even possible that unidentified ad buys may still exist on the social media network today.

Some Russians bought ads on the world's largest social network!? HOLY FUCK TRUMP MUST BE INVOLVED! PUTIN! NAZIS! #IMPEACH
What if Russia-gate never happened, it was a total lie? Zero credible evidence so far.
That Mueller is desperately fishing everywhere is quite telling.
That Slashdot continues its blanket coverage of this story, almost certainly fake news, is also telling.
That may be true about many of those millions, but many of them are also much more interested in looking out for themselves than the country, or delude themselves into thinking that what is good for them is automatically good for the country. This is especially true for the people who get promoted to positions of leadership and influence -- in government even moreso than other workplaces, politics and self-advertisement are critical for advancement.
Lock him up!
Donald Trump will go down in history as the first POTUS to leave office in handcuffs.
Goodness me, the Ivans are out in force with mod points today.
When all you have is a hammer, every problem starts to look like a thumb.
To fabricate all this "Evidence" They must be slow learners or the CIA are POOR teachers. As they have a toolkit designed to attribute internet traffic to ANY PLACE THEY WANT. Fact. Their "Evidence" became USELESS once that toolkit hit the darkweb... As their is NO LONGER a 100% fool-proof method to be for certain that the CIA themselves did not fabricate this "Evidence" Minus that, we are just WORN out on this Russia BS. Zero hard evidence presented to the American people, after almost a year, means they are having a hard time fabricating it. Nothing more.
And yet, Alex Jones is still infinitely more trustworthy than any of the main stream media sources, like CNN or MSNBC.
Do yourself a favor and expand your horizons a little in terms of "news" consumption.
Same to you. Start listening to news source beyond the mainstream fake news. You'll be amazed at the stories they bury and those they flat-out lie about. Alex Jones might be a little abrasive, but at least he's will to report facts.
