You are ignoring a massive, expensive IRA operation in attempt to mislead for which multiple Russians were indicted because of what appears to be personal political bias. Or is your belief a lifelong Republican is indicting people for lulz?

The problem is, they passed a bunch of legal changes recently under the guise of "Well, it is because Backpage cannot be brought to Justice." And now, well, "Oh yeah we had the power all along" which is what your comment
