Exclusive: Even Pokémon Go used by extensive Russian-linked meddling effort

Just a reminder: this happened not just on FB and Twitter, but also right here on this site, and the right-wing voters are not the only ones targeted.

This whole story reminds me of that strange support/protest/counterprotest flashmob-concert at Grand Central that I wrote here about a few months back, that strongly smelled of Russians staging it.

The goal there is not really to do some one specific thing – the goal is to divide us and to disrupt us as a country and liberal democracy as a viable system. So far, they seem to be succeeding. Think about this next time you repost something that looks outrageous and gets your blood boiling. And yeah, dontshootus tumblr is a confirmed Russian-government troll entity that has nothing to do with ending injustices in this country.
