> thousands of views are going to have any impact on the election? We're not talking about Prime Time TV grabs, this is microtargeting, death by a thousand cuts. This one just one of dozens of campaigns that we are just now learning about. Here are some more examples: * Russian-funded Facebook ads backed Stein, Sanders[1] * Shuttered Facebook group that organized anti-Clinton, anti-immigrant rallies across Texas was linked to Russia[2] * Russians Impersonated Real American Muslims to Stir Chaos on Facebook and Instagram[3] Just over a month ago FB was denying any Russian influence. And now we know of 4 different demographics, with 4 different campaigns. These "thousands of views" that you pooh-pooh start to add up and you can see how the cumulative influence could have a real effect.
