  1. The Biden administration announced wide-ranging actions Wednesday meant to call out Russian influence in the upcoming U.S. presidential election, unsealing criminal charges against two employees of a Russian state-run media company and seizing internet domains used by the Kremlin to spread disinformation.

    The measures represented a U.S. government effort at disrupting a persistent threat from Russia that American officials have long warned has the potential to sow discord and create confusion among voters. Washington has said that Russia remains the primary threat to elections even as the FBI investigates a hack by Iran of Donald Trump’s campaign and an attempt breach of the Joe Biden-Kamala Harris campaign.

    One criminal case accuses two employees of RT, a Russian-state funded media organization that was forced by the Justice Department as a foreign agent, of covertly funding a Tennessee-based content creation company to publish nearly 2,000 videos containing Russian propaganda. The defendants, who remain at large, used fake identities and the company was unaware it was being used by Russia.

  2. Will they go with the same old shenanigan again if Trump wins? Claim that it was Russian interference?

  3. Are they talking about this (https://www.dailydot.com/debug/russia-tenet-benny-johnson-tim-pool-indictment/) or is this a different multi-million dollar grifting on behalf of the gop?

    If someone can’t tell that a person like Tim Pool, Lauren Southern or Benny Johnson is a grifter/tool within the first 5 minutes of listening to them speak… well… I’m pretty sure that should be more than a sufficient test for establishing that the listener is unqualified to be participating in any decision that’s going to influence public policy…

  4. How is this different from MPAA vs Pirate Bay ?

    These sites are like hydra, you cut 1 head off 3 more spawn.
