Russia has no need of trolls, it would be an unnecessary waste of resources because there are enough real US citizens on the left side of politics doing everything they can to destroy the US all by themselves.

Inside Russia’s Notorious ‘Internet Research Agency’ Troll Farmspyscape.com
When two South Carolina professors studied Pro-Vladimir Putin social media posts in early 2022, they noticed a pattern - the Tweets, TikTok, and Instagram posts had the hallmarks of the Internet Research Agency (IRA), the Kremlin-backed trolls accused of meddling in the 2016 US election.
During Russian holidays and on weekends, the activity dropped off, suggesting the trolls had regular work schedules. Similar or identical text, photos, and videos were found posted across various accounts and platforms. An analysis by Clemson University and ProPublica found that the posts appeared at defined times consistent with the IRA workday.
“These accounts express every indicator that we have to suggest they originate with the Internet Research Agency,” said Professor Darren Linvill, who has been studying IRA accounts for years.
So what have the IRA trolls been up to?
A Justice Department indictment filed in 2018 and other reports have described hundreds of paid Russian trolls operating disinformation campaigns with an annual budget in the millions. A management group oversees the various departments - graphics, search engine optimization, IT, and finance departments among them.
The trolls are told to watch American TV shows like House of Cards and are given grammar lessons. To hide their Russian identity, the trolls use proxy servers, communicate in English, and use fake identities to establish hundreds of accounts on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and other social media. Within time, those accounts gain followers and became more influential.
Former Twitter security chief says the platform's leadership "is misleading the public, lawmakers, regulators, and even its own board of directors."
His lawyers probably told him if he buys it, gets in there and finds the evidence of bots, he can sue twitter's executives and the company itself for fraud. That's a much stronger legal position than him trying to back out of a signed contract without proof of breach.
Dream on. What rubbish. He has to buy it. Can't get out of overpaying.Once Musk purchases Twitter, he can then sue the board for lying about the number of bots and fake accounts.
Lets see how this rolls. I don't think it is going to be easy.
There will we wailing and gnashing of teeth.Lets see how this rolls. I don't think it is going to be easy.
You have to have a limit somewhere.
One thing Musk can do is make sure everyone posting is a real person and traceable.
The rest of the article is a good read.Some real Tweets coming out, no censored crap
Virginia Trioli at the ABC isn't happy with Elon taking over
She (sorry if l misgendered you) must be triggered
Virginia wants free speech, but only if it's left leaning (like the ABC). Read her article below - comparing Elon Musk purchase of Twitter to Darth Vader. She's an idiot.
Elon Musk's Twitter takeover is a ploy for universal domination - by Virginia Trioli
Do you think Darth Vader learned to Force choke his disappointing underlings mostly because a lack of gravity in space prevented him simply chucking people off the Death Star?Think about it. You know he would have wanted to.Just ask the now ex-CEO, CFO, GC and policy chiefs of Twitter, all of whom were tossed off the Star Destroyer Twitter the moment Lord Elon Musk swept onboard, knocking down sentries with the wave of his black-gloved hand."I find your lack of faith disturbing," he growls, as he attempts to soothe Twitter's worried advertisers that he's going to turn the often-ugly platform into a "social media hell-site".Insert your own James Earl Jones crunchy breathing here as you take in Lord Musk's threats… I mean promises."The reason I acquired Twitter is because it is important to the future of civilisation to have a common digital town square, where a wide range of beliefs can be debated in a healthy manner, without resorting to violence."Twitter, he menaced, should be "warm and welcoming to all".How does that Vader catch-phrase go again? "I am altering the deal…"
Reminds me of this -
.
All the stuff I am seeing is culture war stuff.I never use Titter , so many uninformed comments floating around it dulls the senses and wastes time.
If Musk is taking it over for ideological reasons, that's a warning signal to me that maybe his ego is overtaking his reason.
Anyway, we will see, I don't really care one way or the other.
A/ because all the censorship has been around culture, politics, and their attendant issues.All the stuff I am seeing is culture war stuff.
In the meantime Pelosi"s husband attacked by a madman with a hammer.
USA is going to get scarier.
We shall see. People believe those posts and are used as pawns to aggressively attack their perceived enemies.A/ because all the censorship has been around culture, politics, and their attendant issues.
B/ Irrelevant to free speech on twitter. There is more to that story
Apparently the ex wife was a Trump hater and led nude protests or some weird sht. I think it was just a loon. She's going through some court case and something about a daughter hooked on drugs. So this might have been the trigger event. More details(unverified):All the stuff I am seeing is culture war stuff.
