There are tens of millions of groups on Facebook, according to the company, and in the United States, groups dedicated to supporting some presidential candidates have hundreds of thousands of members.

That must be footage of the Facebook cops putting the finger on the perps🤔

You can help the needy give to

I've somehow been missed off the Facebook Message they sent to everyone who had contact with sock accounts, listing account, interaction and date. Anyone else not get that easily developed communique?

So they are all over Twitter and YouTube. Note the politically charged posts. Deja vu all over again

Russia my a**, I'd put everything I own on these accounts belonging to the Trump 2020 campaign.

I'm afraid this is going to be wack a mole. As Putin loses some of his propaganda outlets he will find other ways. Putin won't give up when he has ruined so much so easy.

Facebook is trash Twitter is better.

Getting rid of the Russian stripper friend requests would be helpful, as well.

Look deep into it and you’ll surely find names like Hillary, Barrack Hussein, Commie, Stroke and ...............................

Little birdie told me CNN is a Russian Power station...
