They were talking about direct hacking, not influencing weak minded conservatives.The same ones who said they found no evidence a single vote was changed.Gee, which candidate did the intelligence services determine was the beneficiary of all the online interference?Wow, the stupidity runs deep with this one^This guy does, he's an actual person I met.
Whereas creep is not an actual person, just a hate bot from China...
An artificial stupidity subroutine (ASS) calling others stupid...

Chatbots have been skewing social-media discussions for years. About a fifth of all tweets about the 2016 presidential election were published by bots, according to one estimate, as were about a third of all tweets about that year’s Brexit vote. An Oxford Internet Institute report from last year found evidence of bots being used to spread propaganda in 50 countries. These tended to be simple programs mindlessly repeating slogans: a quarter million pro-Saudi “We all have trust in Mohammed bin Salman” tweets following the 2018 murder of Jamal Khashoggi, for example. Detecting many bots with a few followers each is harder than detecting a few bots with lots of followers. And measuring the effectiveness of these bots is difficult. The best analyses indicate that they did not affect the 2016 U.S. presidential election. More likely, they distort people’s sense of public sentiment and their faith in reasoned political debate. We are all in the middle of a novel social experiment.}
