How Russian Trolls Operate

Russian meddling is the biggest attack on our democracy since 9-11. Here's how it works and what we can do about it.

I am Russian. I'm a troll. I sometimes live on a farm (visiting grandmother). I elected Trump! Tremble!

A new video needs to be done. CNN did a story about a few months again where Russia has outsourced some trolling to the continent of Africa. Continental Africans posing as black Americans from Ghana and Nigeria are now in the mix.

What a shame this has reached so few people. It should be promulgateed through the publilc school system as young people are the most vulnerable.

I've had strident trolls disappear by saying how is lunch in Moscow?

Who would 'dislike' this video? Oh yeah, Russian trolls. Currently the count is 77 to 264 (likes), but that translates to 25%. Careful out there, they want to divide and conquer.

It would be good if Russia was blocked from our internet.

Hello fellow Russian bots, we have mission for you.

They mock their existence and turn the idea to absurd. And they love attention, they always appear every time they are mentioned. So it's natural that they'll be present here aswell.

The best advice is still: don't respond to them. just ignore them.

тролль м. р. is the russian word for troll

This is what Scientology actually believes.

And where did the 1.2 million dollars per month come from?

[allthingshiphop]

157 dislikes are from russian bots or racist white americans who are in fear

[robertlewis]

How do we know this was not made by a troll.

In a nutshell : who disagrees with an agenda is a russian troll. Funny video.

This is what Elon Musk has been talking about when he says he is scared about AI taking over. He does not mean robots taking over the world like in Westworld, but this... simply this.
