Few things: —ODNI said on 8/7 that “Kremlin-linked actors are seeking to boost President Trump's candidacy on social media.” Now we see details. —FB's investigators say “the operation wanted to divide Democratic voters” and recruited unwitting Americans.

THIS IS INSANE. Facebook allows a video containing dangerous lies about Covid to rack up 14 million views. Imagine the public uproar if this same clip aired on cable news. On a great night, that's 2 million viewers. The video on Facebook got 7x that reach — is anyone outraged? https://twitter.com/...

Facebook adds labels to voting-related posts from US politicians like Trump and Biden that say “Get official voting info” without fact checking the posts

it might even seem that Facebook is endorsing what Trump is saying and providing a path for more information. https://twitter.com/... Roger McNamee / @moonalice : FB's labeling of ...

But as @donie and others pointed out, Facebook gave the same treatment to a Biden post that contained zero false claims. This raises question about what the labeling actually accomplishes. https://twitter.com/...
