Do We Have Russian Operatives Here On This Board?

[Luckyone]

The Russians are once again working hard to affect voters to vote for Trump. They did use social media in 2016 and are expected to use it again this time.

The Russians have been preparing — and experimenting — for the 2020 election, undeterred by American efforts to thwart them but aware that they needed a new playbook of as-yet-undetectable methods, United States officials said.

They have made more creative use of Facebook and other social media. Rather than impersonating Americans as they did in 2016, Russian operatives are working to get Americans to repeat disinformation, the officials said. That strategy gets around social media companies’ rules that prohibit “inauthentic speech.”

One of the tools they are using is spreading misinformation in order to inflame people against the Democrats and in favor of Trump.

There is a lot of misinformation here on this board and that makes me wonder whether we are seeing some of that Russian meddling here as well as in other social media.

The Russians are on Facebook

I don't see why they wouldn't assign one or two operatives to the smaller sites like dabatepolitics. Like one operative for 50 small sites or something.

Of course we do, the first clue would be the terrible translators they are using pimping QAnon level nonsense.

 

[Helix]

The answer seems obvious.

 

[bluesmoke]

Trump is the #1 operative. Working for Putin to destroy democracy and keep Himself in power. More power for Trump.

 

[jnug]

The answer seems obvious.

Agreed. Sometimes even the posters seem obvious.

Я не думаю, что на этом форуме есть какие-то русские, но есть много левых чудаков

ЛАФФ БУНТ!

We have several Russian trolls here on DB. I would call them out by their screen names but it's against TOS.

Absolutely, while some need new updated translating software there are others that have been here for a while and know how to troll.

It is funny that you are saying there are no Russians on this board in Russian.


Ты должен быть российским агентом

Oh no !!! BUSTED!!!!

Well I got news for you- we are taking over this country, and the way we're doing is infiltrating the Democrats with Bolshevik ideas which are going to bring you to your knees.

 

[Grandpappy]

No worries about the Chi-coms trying to get Basement Joe elected? Since there is more money involved there, I would think it's a bigger threat.
You won't hear that on the MSM, though.

You have to ask?

LOL, this place is overrun with them.

You don't have to do any of that (infiltrating). Trump is already a Putin puppet and doing what Putin does, which is "my way or the highway". I would not be surprised if soon we do not start seeing some of the Democrat leaders get poisoned with Novichok (confirmed poison used by Putin), just like Navalny was.

No Russian trolls are necessary to spread misinformation. Trump supporters do that in spades.

 

[Guyzilla]

There are russian and chinese trolls here. BUT, the troll **** is turned into talking points, and disseminated, just like as if the right wing are all russian trolls.

Of course there are Russian trolls on DP. I've called out about half a dozen since I've been here.
