During the 2016 election campaign, it could have been about 126 million Americans to open the Facebook post from "maneuvered" content by the Russian government. This is a statement made by Colin Stretch, legal representative of the said social network and filed with the Senate Justice Commission. To publish this news, if confirmed, would be serious, the Washington Post, which in the article highlights the concrete Russia strategy that using social media could have influenced about half of the electorate during the political debate of the United States.
Posts posted under the handsome Moscow maneuver since January of 2015 to August of 2017 would be according to the testimony in question, beyond 80.000, which is a much larger number than previously provided by Facebook. Of this already enormous amount of posts, which we could call "dopates" by a very serious external intervention, the social network specifies that the actual amount of "maneuvered" posts would rise to a monstrous figure, not far from the 2 billions.
On the day today, we expect Google to recognize, for the first time, that its platform has also been compromised by a similar activity carried out by Russia.
