Why does it matter if RT or Russia advertised for the US election? Doesn't the US notoriously have no restrictions on who and how much advertising can be done for elections? What's the difference between an American doing it vs a Russian?

I believe they have restrictions involving foreign ads for traditional media (newspapers, TV, etc). Just not for the Internet. Otherwise, to be frank, I totally agree with you. Instead of owning up to the fact that most of the populace is really, really, easy to con, we seek blame elsewhere. Banning foreign entities from advertising in elections will not prevent a similar outcome in a future election.
