Facebook Says 10 Million US Users Saw Russia-Linked Ads

Uh riiiight....*shakes head and walks away*

Heh yeah. I bet you've never stopped and analysed what Facebook is and how useful it is to your life. It's an abomination that is destroying the modern society like cancer from inside.

Think what quality of information you get from FB. Think how it exposes you to a multitude of risk factors starting from privacy breach to FB spread malware, identity theft and social engineering. While using FB you're exposed constantly to all the idiotic things people post there. Worst are the memes and the likes. Not far back are the narcist selfies and 'hey look what I'm doing' or 'hey look what I bought' types of posts. Narcism, vanity, envy. Driving forces of Facebook.

You're doing yourself no favors by hanging there, even if they weren't doctoring the news for you. Which they do.

Because its not useful to me. I dont get on there much and what little I do post is either pictures of my planes or my dog. Thats it.

So why did you disagree with me then? Facebook users are the weak sauce who never stop to think what it is and how it's eating up valuable moments of their lives.
 
I don't know anyone whose vote was swayed by an ad, much less a facebook ad. There were a lot of stupid ads from all sides of the political spectrum on facebook.

Yeah really, when I see a political ad on TV I typically ignore it. Same thing with online ads or snail mail.. usually right in the garbage. Who's vote would really be based on a facebook ad? Over a billion dollars spent by Hillary alone, and you think a few facebook AD's are going to stack up to that? People make up their own minds, a few facebook ad's don't mean jack in the big picture.
 
Those ads probably didn't do much at all by themselves. However, Russia did leak the Podesta emails, which were likely altered to make him look like he was running a satanic pedo pizza ring. The whole Podesta/Pizzagate story, is the kind of thing that the Internet Research Agency would create or fan the flames on social media to influence the election. With the viral stories, the ads could have been used to add a sense of authenticity, and make people believe that these were pressing issues right before the election. Don't get me wrong, it was a lose-lose election with either candidate.


Contrary to what the MSM reports I watched an interview with Julian Assange where he basically admitted that it was DNC staffer Seth Rich that leaked the e-mails.

Assange will never give exact details about any of his sources however in the same interview was adamant that it wasn't the Russians.

We can't ask him (Rich) because he suicided himself in the back soon after.

CNN / MSM insist it was a robbery however nothing was stolen from him.

For what that's worth...

Regardless of who leaked the e-mails the facts that they contained don't change.

Below is an example of the "ADs" that Russia was running. It seems to me that they are more like memes that got shared and that you often see people sharing on Facebook.

Interesting... All the super advanced Russians did was tune in our right wing media, and chose some push button issues.. wooowowowowowowoowo... I mean its simple and well tuned... NOTHING we aren't already soaked in ( depending on what you pay attention in radio tv and so on)

They also played on the "far" left as well. It's interesting because more than anything else they seemed to be pushing division. It is amazing how cheap it is to play the average American citizen.
 
Personally I don't care if a candidate spent a trillion dollars on ads (although that would be pushing the button of insanity) and some foreign nation spent 10 cents on ads. The fact of the matter is no one should want a foreign influence to decide who our leader will be regardless of how ineffective it might be.

From that point, shouldn't the US stop doing exactly what it's accusing foreign governments of doing?

Hey this isn't a case of "they do it too", as a foreign nation yeah I wouldn't want the US to influence our laws, leaders, etc. But honestly that's up to them to stop that shit. From a US standpoint if it benefits us we'll do it as long as we can, and yeah I realize that's exactly why foreign nations would it as well, bottom line is you need to secure your shit in your own backyard.
