Intro to  C-Span  8/1/18:

“These hearings before the US Senate, 8/1/18, on reforming social media
platforms, needed government oversight on foreign propaganda and
information warfare are essential to comprehend the extent of attacks from
Russia,  as well as other autocratic states weaponizing these social media
sites.  Facebook‘s latest announcement  that it deleted 290,000 robot
accounts from the Russian Internet Research Agency (IRA) in St. Petersburg,
Russia, also  noted that their propaganda had already reached 126 million
other users and that 28% of the robot sites taken down were still operating
on others sites, including Twitter (with 20  times more propaganda accounts
than actual human users); Reddit, Tumbler and others.  The experts at this
hearing called for immediate action to expose unmarked fake political ads
targeting swing states, and to counter the sleeper accounts still working
to subvert the USA’s November 2018 elections.
