the linked page is chock full of messages that allegedly influenced voters. Such as:
> Influence operations included recruiting typically unknowing assets who would stage events and spread content from Russian influencers, spreading videos of police abuse and spreading misleading information about how to vote and whom to vote for.[76][46] The attempt to target Black Americans has been compared to the KGB's attempt to foster racial tensions during Operation INFEKTION.[149]
it of course is impossible to prove that a specific voter changed their vote due to a specific message from a disinformation campaign, short of them telling you so. But certainly we are well within the range to "allege" that the enormous amount of propaganda coming from Russia may have influenced voters, it would be ridiculous to claim otherwise.
- raxxorrax 5y ago> spreading videos of police abuse Laughable. Sure that wasn't voters of democrats? Or general Youtubers? > The attempt to target Black Americans I would think people have much more problems with virtue signaling domestic companies than Russians, but there is again no evidence. These are plain conspiracy theories. > enormous amount of propaganda It isn't enormous. Propaganda targeting civilians has one property and that is visibility. The more of it, the better. So where is it? I don't believe in ghosts.
