Russian Social Media Election 'Meddling'

by Associated Press

   Lawyers for Internet giants Facebook, Google and Twitter met with three
   different congressional committees this week to answer questions about
   Russian efforts to use the platforms to spread disinformation in the
   2016 presidential election, and what they are doing to stop it from
   happening again. Lawmakers were clear in their position that Russian
   use of the platforms was unacceptable, and several even called it an
   act of war.
