Oh this dude is against "fake news" and then starts pushing the whole Russian bullshit again? This article is fake news. Lame.
Russian ad farm scammers buying a few thousand ad impressions for ads featuring BLM, Jill Stein, Jesus' advice on masturbation, and other such topics designed to attract curious clicks, all as documented in the government report, is not Russian election manipulation and it's dishonest to continue maintaining that it was. Also Russia's not the only hotbed for ad farm scams nor even a particular hotbed. Ad farms are grown globally in countless net nooks and crannies.
Why not refuse to accept ads promoting clickthrough to bogus ad farms filled with stolen content instead? That would actually do some good. Oh but might eat slightly into ad profits, so no can do.
