Meta and Microsoft are finally cracking down on Russian propaganda... From: www.theguardian.com/world/2024/sep/18/ukraine-war-briefing-blinken-briefed-on-kyivs-plan-to-push-russia-to-end-warA false claim circulating on social media that Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris left a 13-year-old girl paralysed after an alleged hit-and-run in San Francisco in 2011 is the work of a covert Russian disinformation operation, according to new research by Microsoft. Researchers found that the operation created a video, paid an actor to appear as the alleged victim, and spread the claim through a fake website for a non-existent San Francisco news outlet named “KBSF-TV”. The Russian group responsible, which Microsoft calls Storm-1516, is described as a Kremlin-aligned troll farm. Facebook owner Meta said on Monday it was banning RT, Rossiya Segodnya and other Russian state media networks from its platforms, claiming the outlets had used deceptive tactics to carry out covert influence operations online. The ban, strongly criticised by the Kremlin, marks a sharp escalation in measures by the world’s biggest social media company against Russian state media, after years of more limited steps such as blocking the outlets from running ads and reducing the reach of their posts.

If it's true that Putin is backing Harris, it is my opinion that it is only to sway people to Trump. They are best pals, after all.

But since Biden told his supporters to go with Harris, his favorite is Harris. He's just messing with people - nobody, himself included, was taking him too seriously. His actual position is that it matters very little who the US president is - it doesn't significantly impact the foreign policy. He's said this multiple times.

At least, unlike Hunter laptop, it actually IS Russian Disinformation. No complaints there. If they do their homework and discern fact from fiction, it would help us all. Of course, if they hadn't listened to the FBI and censored the Hunter Biden laptop, it may have swung the tiny electoral college victory in favor of Trump in 2020, so it's good to have really obvious examples of Russian Disinformation like this to gain public trust. If they're too obviously interfering with democracy, those MAGA fascists get upset.

Musk is a classic case of "money cannot buy everything" Hells bells he doesn't even drive a Lexus. He has proven to be very good at business, but one person can't be good at everything. He's very naive with geopolitics.
