You look at what russia did, you know, buying some facebook ads to try and sow dissent, its a terrible thing. But i think the investigations and all of the speculation thats happened over the last two years has had a much harsher impact on our democracy than a couple of facebook ads. Reporter russias actions amounted to much more than buying some facebook ads. Special counsel Robert Muellers report called them sweeping and systematic, including spreading disinformation on social media, and hacking of the dnc and clinton team.
