Facebook says the company will provide the contents of 3,000 ads bought by a Russian agency to congressional investigators.

But people are already demanding more:

..

Critics say Facebook should go further. They say the company should tell its users how they might have been influenced by outside meddlers.

I do the same, they do not read books. One guy was arguing with me about financial stuff and when I asked him where he got his information, he triumphantly exclaimed YouTube brother, you should go on and check it. Am not making this stuff up. lol
Many do not know how to nor care to vette and verify the information they are receiving. Prime pawns for the picking, this is/ was not only a US issue. We have our "Internet Mba's" from the Caribbean also.
Social media bots, paid trolls, and “useful idiots”

Very true. U can see it when u look at the kids today in comparison to our days. They have to be told everything. I was talking to a cousin Fl during irma. She told her nephew to brace the patio door with bricks. He put two bricks and the door blew open. 2:00 in the morning she had to go look for stuff to tie it. I ask her, if she told him how many bricks to brace the door with or how big ones he should. big grin lol

I have an 18 year old I can relate. You have to ask them to repeat what you asked them to do. Millenials, supposedly the smartest generation. lol
