In reply to the discussion: Guardian exposes Russian "troll center" where paid trolls spew Putin web propaganda. [View all]woo me with science
(32,139 posts)76. Actually, swarms.
This thread began, and has evolved, as an excellent example of the tactics used by the familiar corporate posting crew here. I encourage anyone interested to refer to the links I posted, including the actual information revealed by Snowden, to follow along and watch how predictable the tactics are.
I believe it's useful to point out but I won't be kicking this one again.
