    We know the 2016 election was fucked with through Facebook and not a damn thing has been done.

    Okay I’ll beat that dead horse.

      Seems pretty cherry picked. From the Wapo regarding Twitter:

      But the study doesn’t go so far as to say that Russia had no influence on people who voted for President Donald Trump.

      It doesn’t examine other social media, like the much-larger Facebook.

      Nor does it address Russian hack-and-leak operations. Another major study in 2018 by University of Pennsylvania communications professor Kathleen Hall Jamieson suggested those probably played a significant role in the 2016 race’s outcome.

      Lastly, it doesn’t suggest that foreign influence operations aren’t a threat at all.
