Conservative digital activists were smeared as behaving like “Russian trolls” by a recent article in the Washington Post. The writer also made sure to reach out to both Twitter and Facebook to get the teenage activists banned.
The article goes to great lengths — even interviewing PhDs — to compare the teenagers to “bots,” even though the article presents no evidence that any accounts were not operated by humans, and to “Russian trolls,” even though the article acknowledges that the people in charge of the accounts were Americans.
The article also casts normal behavior of political activists, like reading from a shared list of talking points, as somehow unusual. The Washington Post labels the act of paying people to repeat political messages — a standard feature of virtually all major political campaigns — as “coordinated inauthentic behavior.”

Sounds like they were activists.
Is that not allowed for Americans?
For your interest.
these are publishers who deserve lawsuits FOREVER
for this.
They are just people on social media. Reacting to public posts. WTF!
Washing Compost lives up to its reputation again. Bezos better dump that rag and stick to building businesses before his politics bites] his butt and folks start boycotting Amazon.
“these are publishers who deserve lawsuits FOREVER
for this.”
Class action.
No.
Shut up and pay your taxes and be happy about it.
Or else.
And put your F’n mask on!...
Don’t you know? We’re all Russian bots and trolls. Putin owes us a helluva lot of money for helping his “puppet” Trump. These clowns have lost all sense of reality!
And bake the cake!
Do left wing journalist know they are corrupt and dishonest? If so... How do they sleep at night?
FB and Twitter need to be turned into “Utilities.”
Liberals and these liberal sites are terrified of the truth
what terrifies them even more is that the new young generation coming up can’t stand them !!!!
and is out right attacking them !!!
and these kids have conservative principles this really terrifies them!
Twitter and Facebook have no idea how stupid it is to ban anybody
Especially kids
Sheryl Sandberg, a rabid leftist - not Zuckerberg - is the driving force behind facebook.
Conservativism is the new rebellion. The Collectivism (group think) of the New Democrat party (the Vanguard Party) does not allow for individualism or creativity.
The WP is free to write just about whatever they want as journalists. But for the author to “reach out” to try to get these political opponents banned is not journalism, it is political activism. And this is not an isolated case it others like it have been reported in the recent past.
But we already knew these places have become overrun with politically partisan leftist shills. So much so that many middle of the road and right leaning journalists have been forced out through intimidation and open hostility by their co-workers.
Bring on the lawsuits!
And stay inside your home when the protesters harass you, and lose your job and livelihood never to be able to work again, and maybe we won’t open a wide-ranging criminal investigation into your entire life.

Alright, you’ve gotten to my conscience; I must confess that I’m a secret Russian Agent and have been for more than 20 years. Way back then I was assigned by my then employer to entertain a young Russian woman who visited us as an authorized agent of the Russian Government. I’m never going to live down the humiliation. BTW, she was a really enjoyable, interesting person, proving I really got corrupted.
