Russian bots with a Kremlin disinformation network published 120,000 fake anti-Ukraine quotes falsely attributed to celebrities, including Jennifer Aniston and Scarlett Johansson, in one day, the independent Russian media outlet Agentsvo reported June 15.

Quotes appeared over celebrity photos, displaying messages calling to end aid to Ukraine and describing European collapse.

The images were published between June 14-15 by the Kremlin disinformation network Dvoynyk, a representative of the Bot Blocker project told Agentsvo. The fake quotes have since garnered over 500,000 views.

    I have no idea what any of that has to do with the three facts that congress passes laws, the House is controlled by Republicans, and Republicans are sympathetic to Russia.

    Also, do not put words in my mouth.

      FBI has the tools to do whatever it wants done as exemplified by their history.

      If they are not doing it, it is not a priority for them

      You are spouting some generic civics slop as an authoritative take on the issue.

      NOTHING TO SEE HERE!

        Cool, I was responding to someone who said:

        Hmmmmmm…perhaps it’s about time that it becomes illegal.

        And explaining why that law would not be passed.

        I’m sorry that you think telling someone how laws are passed in response to them saying something should be illegal is “generic civics slop,” but that still has nothing to do with whatever the hell you’re talking about.

        So I’m thinking the person with the misunderstanding here is you since you’re not talking about making something illegal or why it won’t happen.
