The company has been working with FBI to investigate who’s behind the campaigns.
It’s a real head-scratcher, that’s for sure.

That the US has - and still is - meddled in the politics of other countries and continents is a fact.

They are still doing it. Yes, I use Facebook to see what my family is doing, so I deserve it, but I get more “recommended for you” things about “Financial experts agree the Euro will collapse in months”, “The European Union cannot last more than ten years, say Euro pundits”. No algorithm is selecting this for me, as I am a European. Someone is still doing Brexit’s dirty work. More than ever.
Meanwhile the UK has Facebook posters saying “Fake News is not Our Friend”. Too right, pal, Fake News is your employer, and a valued client. I and my friends are your raw product.
