Stop calling them 'Russian troll farms' [View all]

Josh Geltzer calls the term "dangerously misleading."

"The Agency (Internet Research Agency) itself was tidily organized into divisions that included a management group, a data analysis department, a graphics department, a search-engine optimization department, an information technology department, and a finance department."

He ends the article with, "Strategic effectiveness begins with conceptual clarity. So, let's stop calling them "troll farms" and start calling them what they are: the Kremlin's disinformation army."

I'm not sure that Kremlin Disinformation Army is catchy enough, but I certainly agree with the sentiment.
