Stephen King quits Facebook over concerns of 'false information'

17. There's the problem

with a "little looking." Anti-Trump groups need to use the same techniques that Russia used. Hell, give the contract to do that to the group in Montenegro. My guess is they will work for the highest bidder. Create liberal bot armies. Create bogus FB groups and garner tens or hundreds of thousands of followers.

Remember, Obama won in part because his campaign mobilized the internet. Trump then "won" because of Russia's expertise in going one better. As long as those platforms are there, there is no reason that Dems should hang back.

Don't get me wrong. I agree with King. I am not a FB fan and would get off (again) if it weren't for wanting to follow a few accounts, including some family. Would my life be seriously affected if I didn't? Probably not. But you know something? With 2 billion accounts, it will take a little more than the odd escapee like King (or me) to make a difference. Governments need to get involved.
