Or where will they funnel money to now.Russia supports MAGA. Supports Donald. Their disinformation campaigns do, at the very least, appear to be very effective in swaying the MAGA public's opinion. The question is now that their propaganda and misinformation campaigns have been hobbled because of their invasion will the gullible's mindsets begin to change?
You wouldn't be able to understand.What does that comparison have to do with Russia's money?
Hell, changing the top ten could have been easily done by Facebook, themselves.
Oh... So you don't believe the Russians spread propaganda and misinformation on social media? I guess the idea that your opinions have been swayed by Russian bots makes you uncomfortable?What does that comparison have to do with Russia's money?

Lol.What does that comparison have to do with Russia's money?

He still won't be able to understand.Oh... So you don't believe the Russians spread propaganda and misinformation on social media? I guess the idea that your opinions have been swayed by Russian bots makes you uncomfortable?
How Russia used social media to divide Americans
Russian trolls and bots focused on controversial topics in an effort to stoke political division on an enormous scale – and it hasn’t stopped, experts saywww.google.com

Or where will they funnel money to now.
Donald taught his minions long ago that when the facts don't align with what your trying to sell, just call the facts fake.....Lol.
Never forget. Donald loves Putin and Putin uses Donald. To put it in extremely crass terms, Donald's Putin's bitch.What does that comparison have to do with Russia's money?

It's not complicated.What does that comparison have to do with Russia's money?

I spoke about that comparison...not this other stuff.Oh... So you don't believe the Russians spread propaganda and misinformation on social media? I guess the idea that your opinions have been swayed by Russian bots makes you uncomfortable?

Or...they stopped because Facebook gave them the boot.It's not complicated.
Russia pays for millions of bots and trolls to spread a narrative on social media sites. This creates an artificial popularity for the sites that promote that narrative.
When those bots and trolls suddenly stop operating because Russia shuts down its connections to the rest of the world, it will cause a sudden drop in the popularity of some sites. Observing which sites drop out of the top 10 makes it crystal clear what narrative the Russians are pushing...
Not sure if you've been paying attention to current events, but Russia blocked Facebook. That's a big change which should have a noticeable effect on trends. Facebook is always TRYING to ban bots and trolls. Do you think their algorithms and capabilities have changed massively in the last few days? Try to use some knowledge, reason, and logic here. Which explanation is more likely?Or...they stopped because Facebook gave them the boot.
You seem to have misunderstood what the data in the OP is. It's a list of "the top-performing link posts" on Facebook. Top performing in this context means the most likes and shares. Someone makes a post. The Russians decide that it is beneficial to Russia if that person's post is promoted. So they send Russian bots and Russian trolls do the liking and the sharing. This strategy becomes obvious when they SUDDENLY STOP sending the bots and the trolls to like and share. The people who WERE being promoted suddenly become less popular. Get it yet?But those two lists of top tens don't include bots that I can see. Do you claim that Hannity is taking money from Russia?
Seriously...try to use some "knowledge, reason and logic" here.
It sounds like you have been cut off too.What does that comparison have to do with Russia's money?

I don't use FB, so no.It sounds like you have been cut off too.
Said the guy who parrots "stuff" he was force fed by Russian bots. Now they've been shut down, what are you gonna parrot?I spoke about that comparison...not this other stuff.
Try to focus, eh?
It is evidence that he is doing Putin's bidding though. It will be interesting to see how far these personalities will go given that Putin is a pariah now in most of the world.Not sure if you've been paying attention to current events, but Russia blocked Facebook.

It's a list of people who MADE THE POSTS so it won't have any bots, and there is nothing here that implies Sean Hannity is taking money from Russia.
