Russia's 'troll factory'
Daily Mail ^ | 3/28/2015 | Sam Matthew

Vladimir Putin has an army of professional trolls running thousand of fake Twitter and Facebook accounts to flood social media with pro-Russia propaganda.

Hundreds of workers are paid £500 a month to work exhausting 12-hour shifts bombarding the internet with comments placing Putin in a more favourable light.

The trolls work under strict condition which see them banned from talking and even forging friendships with one another.

Someone should tell them that it pays better to be a neocon troll here.

Just saw the page on Hillary’s protector of her WP page, but that was only one. One one hand Putin claim some religion and is against some kinds of immorality, but i think he is a dangerous deceiver.

Shocking news, this is! I’m so glad that our own government doesn’t stoop to such deceptive tactics in support of its agenda.

And those fake Twitter accounts are used as sources...by a few here...over and over again.

Then Pootie Poot has wasted his money.

“£500 a month to work exhausting 12-hour shifts”

That does not sound right.

Excellent info, shouldn’t be surprising yet I’m always a little surprised to read about such blatant propagandizing.

Reminds me, has anyone else seen a movie called Putin’s Kiss? I watched it on Netflix, having no idea what to expect. Wow. It’s a documentary explaining about Putin’s Youth... yeah, very similar to Hitler’s Youth. These kids are roaming the streets right now, following orders and cheerleading like red-bots. The movie is based on the reportage of a journalist who got the bloody hell beaten out of him, almost died. There is b&w footage of the beat down.

Here’s the IMDB profile:

Since I’ve been here I’ve called Putin a murdering ex-KGB thug. Caught a bit a hell for it too... no wonder.

Part of this massive campaign is to flood the internet forums and comment pages with troll posts so the real discussion becomes impossible.

I have seen it. Excellent documentary. Things have gotten much worse in Russia by now and Kremlin has taken in even more hateful organizations. Russian nazi organizations were taken under Kremlin guidance and their members are now fighting in Ukraine.

This Russian nazi boy ( warning - disturbing pictures http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=991_1404305663 ) is now a commander of Russians fighting in Ukraine and a speaker in Nazi conference organized in St. Petersburg ( http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=9f0_1427061653 ).
