quote [ It should have become an indisputable fact that Russia launched a sophisticated, daring, aggressive campaign against the American public, and we’re as exposed as we ever were — if not more so, because now so many tools we might have sharpened to aid us in this fight seem blunted by the very people who should be honing their edge. There is no leadership. No one is building awareness of how these automated influence campaigns are being used against us. ]

Yeah, there is no slaying trolls except through suppression. All arguing or "educating" does is give their ideas more exposure to people that are vulnerable to them.

Maybe the internet should come with a warning label so people with troll allergies will know to stay the fuck off it.

Big news outlets stupidly sold their soul to Facebook. Desperate for the referral traffic Facebook dangled, they spent the past few years jumping through its hoops only to be cut out of the equation. Instead of developing an owned audience of homepage visitors and newsletter subscribers, they let Facebook brainwash readers into thinking it was their source of information.

In another bid to quell criticism that its platform is overrun with misinformation, YouTube said Friday that it would start labeling news broadcasters' videos that receive at least some government or public funding.
The move comes a year after the Office of the Director of National Intelligence detailed how Russian state broadcaster RT racked up hundreds of millions of views on YouTube promoting Kremlin propaganda. YouTube will start labeling videos that receive government funding |

Excellent comparison of how natural trending versus bot amplification works/looks.
Provides several links for the whataboutists that might still believe it wasn’t Russia. (Hint: the bot’s human controllers keep Moscow office hours)
