All The Ads A Russian Troll Farm Dumped On Americans' Facebook Accounts

Description

Russian operatives used Facebook to influence America's 2016 election and sow discord. Facebook has declined to release the ads to the public. But not to worry. House Intel Committee members just dropped a data dump featuring 3,500 of those ads. They're the work of the Internet Research Agency —the Kremlin-linked “troll farm." It's not necessarily the entirety of the Russian propaganda campaign. Still, it demonstrates the tactics that were used. Much dealt with race relations. Other ads promoted Donald Trump or Bernie Sanders--but rarely Hillary Clinton.
