Pugster (82 posts)Fake black activist accounts linked to Russian governmentSource: CNN Money (via Clickondetroit.com)NEW YORK (CNNMoney) - A social media campaign calling itself "Blacktivist" and linked to the Russian government used both Facebook and Twitter in an apparent attempt to amplify racial tensions during the U.S. presidential election, two sources with knowledge of the matter told CNN.The Twitter account has been handed over to Congress; the Facebook account is expected to be handed over in the coming days.Both Blacktivist accounts, each of which used the handle Blacktivists, regularly shared content intended to stoke outrage. "Black people should wake up as soon as possible," one post on the Twitter account read. "Black families are divided and destroyed by mass incarceration and death of black men," another read. The accounts also posted videos of police violence against African Americans.The Blacktivist accounts provide further evidence that Russian-linked social media accounts saw racial tensions as something to be exploited in order to achieve the broader Russian goal of dividing Americans and creating chaos in U.S. politics during a campaign in which race repeatedly became an issue.Read more: https://www.clickondetroit.com/money/fake-black-activist-accounts-linked-to-russian-government19

Black lives do. Being a police officer is an occupation, a choice.
