This is why I want to get into cyber security. I want to fucking defend my country from these fucks and other countries trying similar methods. This is the next great war, and so far we are losing.

Not that I doubt the veracity of any of this, but why is this all coming forward today?

Feels like this is the 4th story about Russian social media hacking today.

Thinking the same thing

The piecemeal stuff isn't good enough, because anyone that was even slightly savvy had to know that.

Death by 1,000 cuts is cool, but we need more shit that can't be spun or explained away by "welp, people are stupid and believe anything lol" type stuff.

You know I don't see why twitter can't handle the bot problem by requiring automated accounts to identify as such, and refuse them the ability to like and retweet posts. Would allow them to keep the benefit of automated accounts where they're actually useful while removing a lot of the problems

lol, because obviously they would comply.

They are working to keep those with the power to stop this in office. Those who could do something don't want to argue with those who are assisting them.

Schooling implies something was taught, but I doubt Richard Spencer learned anything.
