By now we all have heard that Russia diddled around in our elections and have also done the same for other “Western” countries……and they have been condemned by most people that know of their interference.
Of course they are not the only one that has attempted to diddle….some say China, North Korea, even Iran possibly…..this is reported by our dynamite media…they want us and the world to know of these attempts…..
But there is one that is not getting any attention and as usual the MSM is protecting one country from criticism…….
Facebook said Thursday it banned an Israeli company that ran an influence campaign aimed at disrupting elections in various countries and has canceled dozens of accounts engaged in spreading disinformation.
Nathaniel Gleicher, Facebook’s head of cybersecurity policy, told reporters that the tech giant had purged 65 Israeli accounts, 161 pages, dozens of groups and four Instagram accounts.
Although Facebook said the individuals behind the network attempted to conceal their identities, it discovered that many were linked to the Archimedes Group, a Tel Aviv-based political consulting and lobbying firm that publicly boasts of its social media skills and ability to “change reality.”
“It’s a real communications firm making money through the dissemination of fake news,” said Graham Brookie, director of the Digital Forensic Research Lab at the Atlantic Council, a think tank collaborating with Facebook to expose and explain disinformation campaigns.

The MSM made sure to report on the Eurovision piece of crap but have not thought it was important enough to report on their meddling……so damn typical!
At least Facebook has stepped up….but I think it is more because of the bad press they have gotten recently more than any serious concern……
Israel again. It always comes back to Israel. I have no words for the underhand dealings of that tiny country, and how they continue to affect the peace in our world. Their population is less than that of London, yet their influence is global. Shameful.
Best wishes, Pete.
They have become masters of backstabbing, underhanded and pathetic tactics…..chuq
What about our diddling? We seem quite proud of doing it ourselves.
I know and I have written about us just as guilty as anyone……chuq
The country that had interfered with elections in other countries is the US. As in us. I think it is highly ironic and hypocritical for us to be complaining about anyone interfering in anyone else’s elections. It thought that was standard procedure to be expected.
This is where American Exceptionalism comes in……we can do but no one else can……chuq
