Doesn't that tell you that there are zillions more phony accounts in the American data base? They refuse to comply with requests by intelligence agencies for transparency. Some ETHICAL standard they employ? Don't want to look like a**holes so they keep it quiet? How many hundreds of thousands if not millions of phony accounts were set up on these internet social sites to snare gullible Americans into a web of deceit? I think the FACEBOOK and TWITTER folks should be investigated. They FACILITATED the trickery. Now they are protecting whom? For how long? Ethics my a**. They are scared to death of what they allowed and are stonewalling to stop the damage to their reputations. Too late for that. The horse left the barn, that ship sailed. Ethics. A word that used to mean something long ago but is worthless now. Alas poor Ethics we knew ye well. RIP. :( less

How do you know what you dear to your heart isn't fake and created just for folks who are gullible and obsessed with their anti-ness? How can you tell if your strings are being pulled by real live people, trolls, bots posing as people? Hostile foreign governments whose only goal is to fill your mind with lies and sit back and watch you react predictably to that? How do you know? How does anyone know? less

It is an IDEAL vehicle for plotting deathRussia set up fake accounts on FACEBOOK and TWITTER to get the gullible to do their bidding. There is a "event planner" apparently on Facebook. There were anti-immigrant/anti-refugee/anti-Muslim events planned specifically to brainwash people and it worked. Phony info was spread via the internet to undermine Hillary Clinton. It worked!Your personal information can be hacked. Your identity stolen. The ENEMY can pretend to be you and send out vile messaging.The power grid operates through computers and the internet? How easy would it be to sabotage it leaving us without control towers at airports and access to our financial accounts? Doesn't it operate utilities automatically? How much business is transacted via computers and the internet? Traffic patterns are controlled by computers. Drones that are sent thousands of miles away to kill are controlled by computers. Space travel? Possible without NASA f... less

Or is that an impossible dream?
