WOW: Duke prof's thread all but debunks notion Russian trolls influenced attitudes or behaviors of U.S. social media users in 2016

Byron York shared this thread on Russian trolls from Chris Bail, a professor at Duke and the director of the The Polarization Lab, which brings together machine learning and social science to reduce political polarization on social media.

Whoda thunk?

So wait, Americans weren’t dumb enough to be fooled by Russian trolls?! Gosh, we’re shocked.

Actually pretty amazing stuff here, folks, and definitely worth your time.
