Nick Clegg, Facebook's head of global affairs and Britain's former deputy prime minister, says no evidence Russia influenced Brexit via Facebook

LONDON - There is “absolutely no evidence” that outside forces such as Russia used Facebook to target users and influence Britain’s vote to leave the European Union, the world’s biggest social network said on Monday.

Opponents of Brexit have repeatedly questioned whether the Kremlin played a role in the vote by promoting stories online on issues such as immigration in a bid to sway opinion. Britain has said it found no evidence that Russia interfered in the vote and Moscow has repeatedly denied even trying.

They’ve been too busy influencing our elections

is this gut on putin's payroll

Says man who works for Facebook.

Clegg has a history- Would never depend on any of his utterances.....ever. (The glasses do NOT make him look any more honest, either).

Maybe we stop blaming Russia for everything.

One has to ask, why is Russia going around meddling in other country's elections?🤔I know the answer. Do you?

Liar

Says the Facebook Rep

And they gave him a hard time for giving up his principles and getting into bed with the Tories.

Liar liar student loan fees pants on fire.

wrong!

Said the man who works for Facebook.

Body language. We ran 2 full analysis (shakes head up down (yes gesture)) of all the data we had (shakes head side to side (no gesture)). Let's look at the dataset used. 🤔 GIGO

DouglasCarswell 'We won't charge university fees' Gets job as deputy PM 'We're charging university fees'. 'There was Russian interference' Gets job at Facebook 'There was no Russian interference' I'm not saying Nick Clegg will say anything for a pound note, but...

Lying to order. So sad

Wishful thinking of some Western politicians-Russia is not so bad if we look at it at a certain angle..let it violate international laws, etc. Only not go crazy with its nuclear 'arguments'.. History waits long but it will judge for sure.

Mr Clegg, let's to dedicate the all this century this question! And the next ... too.

do we have another case of the losers blaming Russia? 😢

And now the xenophobic progressive war mongers against Russia will appear in the comments. You are all no better than the 2003 George Bush Republicans

jasperklapwijk Says the most reliable, impartial nickclegg ...

Facebook have nothing too hide...

Oh right, he works for facebook

Paid for liar. The man has no conscience. He’s in it for the fame and the fortune

🤑

Geeeeezus ! HE WORKS FOR FACEBOOK. Don’t f-ck up headlines like this. It’s gross negligence.

He's 100% correct. They deleted all the evidence.

ok, then.

Seems legit -says the White House and Russia

After all the lies how can anyone believe him now ?

What's so conflictual about the users of this app that large number of groups are underground networks of traditional nationalist, radical hate groups & apolitical terror units that are highly organized in old KGB ground toy's style. Having a currency as well will fund such.....

Wait, what? You're telling me Facebook says Facebook wasn't used by Russia? Or just that there was 'no evidence'? Well, if I were attempting to influence I certainly would do my best to NOT leave any evidence. IMHO, Facebook/Twitter/Etc designed to manipulate human thought.

Take a gander at the house facebook bought him in the States.

I thought Clegg got a bum wrap for stepping up when needed and putting the country ahead of his personal, political and party positions, something which today’s shower could learn from. He lost his job because of it and so best of luck to him at Facebook. But this is bollocks.

Wouldn't want to upset his new employer, would he?

How about letting others see the data to see how it stacks up against 'no evidence'?

Thank god...they are as damn crazy as we are!

Carole Cadwalladr must be in shock... 😂😂😂

Nick Clegg, the politician’s politician 🤮🤮

If Russia influenced Brexit than China influenced Remain ** At some point the conspiracy theorists become nuts. We are way past that with this Russia nonsense.

If Russia influenced Brexit than China influenced Remain

The xenophobic, irrational, war mongering and hatred against Russia from progressives will be on full display in the comments from this. You are fools.

How much evidence is there that they tried

This was released now because today is Opposite Day.

Wow. He must be making a lot of money from that gig.

Uh, right. Not believing this.

Clegg? More like EGG. As in ON YOUR FACE, Niky.

Russia should ban everything and everyone from Georgia What’s sad is that this report is missing the point that Georgia started a ban first after U.S representatives persuaded them to and Russia retaliated. Georgia depends a great deal on Russian tourism but the west doesn’t care that it’s asking them to shoot themselves in the foot. I didn’t realize predominantly Muslim nations produced wine.
