Lista Talk
- Propaganda grew, and so did Twitter The interference of the Russian government in the 2016 US elections has now been established, also by spreading disinformation through social networks, including Twitter. Five years later, disinformation spreading on social networks has not stopped, it has grown. Over the years, other actors - both pro-government and non-governmental - have begun to exploit similar techniques previously used by the Russian government, for one simple reason: they work.
