Revenge of Capitalism

Hard to give a fuck about Roy Moore, a total bag of shit but this story goes some way to explaining the kind of world we now live in. Democracy is a battleground between various rich people trying to distort public perception via social media manipulation. Faking Russian bots is surely the next inevitable level of bullshit.

They also used thousands of Twitter accounts to make it appear as if automated Russian bot accounts were following and supporting Mr. Moore, according to an internal report on the project. The apparent Russian support for Mr. Moore drew broad news media coverage.

I love the shitty corporate language they use to justify their bullshit. There’s no excuse, no bug too terrible, Google is just a lame company run by idiots.
