That Uplifting Tweet You Just Shared? A Russian Troll Sent It

This has been happening since 2008 (and probably even earlier). Why do we only mention all of these Russian trolls when it could potentially help a candidate/politician you dislike?

When Obama ran in 2008, the trolls were out in full force. Most people didn't care and many tech outlets wrote about how this somehow made Obama and his campaign tech geniuses.

I'm just tried of the political bias of the mainstream media and magazines like Rolling Stone.

Spend as little time as possible on social media and only use twitter for those rare occasions you need to interface with professionals. Never share your personal information online ever. Never ever ever take social media content seriously. Always expect it to be advertisement deception and/or garbage.
