my point isn’t to say that the ellection interference in 2016 did not happen , but that I don’t think its reasonable to assert that a topic is being influenced by Russian trolls by virtue of it being something Russia might have a vague interest in .
not to say that any suspicions are invalid , of course , but again from what I understand , Russia has a very “one topic at a time” approach , which should be taken to mean there is a limited number of affected communities , which from past examples appear “home grown” .
“vague interest”? I think you’re severely downplaying their intentions for whatever reason. Russia has plenty to gain from the destabilization of the West.
Russia has a very “one topic at a time” approach
What do you base this on? And why would this impede them from trying? You make it sound like this lies in the hands of a handful of people or that it’s not a sizeable operation. And can you give “homegrown” examples that can be shown not to be influenced by Russian disinformants?
