'Facebook and Twitter say they have suspended or removed accounts linked
to Iran and Russia over "inauthentic" or "manipulating" behaviour.
More than 650 Facebook pages and groups were said to have been
identified as "misleading", according to founder and chief executive
Mark Zuckerberg.'

'acebook and Twitter have taken down hundreds of fake accounts and pages
linked to Iran and Russia after finding a series of campaigns aimed at
meddling in UK and US politics.
The Iranian accounts targeted internet users in Britain and America and
were followed by more than one million people. They bought thousands of
dollars worth of adverts in what researchers said was an attempt to
spread pro-Iranian messages.
Facebook revealed on Tuesday night that it had suspended 652 pages,
groups and accounts across Facebook and Instagram that were linked to
“Iranian state media”, after finding evidence of “co-ordinated
inauthentic behaviour” across the accounts.
Separately, Twitter said it had suspended 284 accounts that it believed
originate in Iran.
Facebook, which has fought a lengthy battle with state-sponsored
attempts to meddle in Western elections, also said it had removed
several accounts linked to the Russian military.'

'It was 2014, and in a building in St Petersburg, the Russian Internet
Research Agency (IRA) was already hard at work building its arsenal to
take on US politics.
According to US prosecutors, the IRA had gathered stolen identities of
real Americans, and a formidable encyclopaedia of what "works" on social
media when it comes to riling up Americans talking about politics. Two
members of the agency were said to have travelled to the US to gather
more intelligence, a fact-finding tour taking in nine states, according
to investigators.
Back on Russian soil, the IRA began posing online as US volunteers in
order to gather tips on how to effectively target voters. One real
volunteer, based in Texas, told the Russians to aim for the "purple
states" - those where the race was going to be tighter. And so they did,
prosecutors say.'

You're saying a warrant WASN'T issued?
Get this straight:
The FBI presented its case.
To a judge.
It consisted of lots more than the dossier.
And they explained what the source of the dossier was a political campaign.
And the judge found that there was probable cause and issue a warrant.
That is what happened.

I did. Immediately below.
But what is unredacted still tells us that there was much more to this
than the dossier.
Nope. You are simply, factually, incorrect.
> There ARE NO "multiple" sources.
Yes, there really are.
> Furthermore, the FBI FAILED to inform the judge that Shrillary funded the report.
That is also incorrect.
'Doss: The most important things we learned are that:
1) the government relied on information developed over the course of
several years
2) the Steele dossier was only part of the information relied on by the FBI
3) the government informed the FISC that the dossier information had
been developed for the purpose of discrediting then-candidate Donald
Trump's political campaign and
4) each time that the application was renewed, the government submitted
enough evidence that an impartial federal judge believed there was
probable cause to allow the government to continue its investigation.'
Nunes and the Republicans straight up LIED when they tried to claim the
dossier was the only source and that the court hadn't been informed.
And you dutifully ate it up.
