New court documents reveal that Russia is keeping a very, very long list of influencers to spread its propaganda.
The Russian disinformation plot revealed in a Justice Department indictment this week may just be the tip of the iceberg, according to newly unsealed court documents.
On Wednesday, the DOJ announced it would seize 32 internet domains linked to a larger Kremlin scheme to promote disinformation and influence the 2024 election. The Russian campaign, known as Doppelganger, uses AI-generated content to create “fake news” boosted through social media with the aim of electing Donald Trump.
…
Of particular note, the documents released Wednesday included an affidavit that noted a Russian company is keeping a list of more than 2,800 influencers world wide, about one-fifth of whom are based in the United States, to monitor and potentially groom to spread Russian propaganda. The affidavit does not mention the full list of influencers, but is still a terrifying indicator of how deep the Russian plot to interfere in U.S. politics really goes.
Where are my republican “there is no Russian influence in the election” now?
I don’t listen to the radio but my coworkers (school bus drivers) do so I overhear it from time to time. News reports keep mentioning “foreign interference in our elections” but scrupulously avoid mentioning a) it’s Russia, and b) it’s Russia interfering on behalf of Trump and the Republicans. Even fucking NPR is like this, most of the time. It should be obvious that any Republicans hearing this sort of “news” will believe it’s a problem afflicting Democrats.
They will never hear about this in a non-obfuscated way
Shhhh…no Russian
No puppet, no puppet, you’re the puppet!
They’re currently brainstorming and waiting for their orders from fox “news”. I expect we’ll see a bunch of posts here in a few days about how it’s all bullshit and blown out of proportion. Watch the names too, they’ll all be accounts created a year or so ago and haven’t posted for about 7 months.
They’ll still be saying that because they don’t actually care about facts or evidence
Most likely true.
