Mark Zuckerberg and his monstrosity of a propaganda machine is complicit in the destruction of our Constitutional system of government. I don’t know why FB hasn’t been more effectively curbed. Oh wait. Congress.
If it is illegal for the pots to conspire with foreign accounts for political gain why is it not illegal for zuck to conspire with foreign accounts for monetary gain?
Mark Zuckerberg is, I believe, himself a bot so makes sense. His bot type is pasty asshole. He also has a pasty face. (Is this mean or am I allowed to be mean?)
Great work! Thank you for all you do, and I wish there were more doing this level of work. At first, I wondered, "how could the President of Ukraine be supporting Trump? Volodymyr Zelensky knows just how despicable and dishonest Trump has been to him and the people of Ukraine."
Fantastic research and effective reporting. I want to tell you Judd when I try hit the heart button above a message comes on the screen reportedly from Popular Information that says an error occurred and requires me to hit an OK button to get out. I can't get out any other way but by hitting the OK button and when I do it retracts my vote on the red heart that I just added. If this is happening to many others that's why your count on the heart button may be low.
I've been following your coverage of FB -- this column spurred me to sign up for a paid subscription! Now, sic 'em!

“Facebook promised this would not happen again” and if you really believed that, you probably still have a Facebook account.

Interesting the Facebook denied these pages were a problem at first. I guess additional complaints are key, not facts, just volume of complaints.
Just read this yesterday, a peek into an every day job at a troll factory in Ukraine.

Fantastic work, Judd. This is very disturbing, but your investigation and exposure had results. (BTW I tried to Like this but the button didn't work.)
After my comment I hit the heart button again and now it looks like it was counted.
