> Russian disinformation campaign of 2016
Are you referring to the disinformation campaign that promoted the conspiracy theory that Russia somehow influenced the 2016 presidential elections, or the conspiracy theory itself?

- Andrew_nenakhov 3y agoYes, bought ads on a whopping $100k on Facebook. That really changed the outcome of the elections: https://time.com/4930532/facebook-russian-accounts-2016-election/ https://time.com/4930532/facebook-russian-accounts-2016-elec... Anyway, why the big fuss? US has meddled in the affairs of other countries via media/grants/other types of funding, public and covert, for over a century by now. Why being so sour because some countries influence you back? If it is the citizens who do the voting, your compatriots, and you should respect their choice. Or you think they are too stupid and too easily influenced by misinformation, that they are too naive to make a rational choice? How about stripping the voting rights from such people? They clearly need to be steered by more competent leaders!
