В сентябре 2016 некая Дженна Абрамс (юзер Jenn_Abrams) вызвала бурную реакцию, написав в Твиттере "Black people, if you're really so offended, then stop using welfare that our country provide you with #boycottNFL."
Помимо тэга "boycottNFL" Абрамс успешно продвигала другие вирусные скандалы.
В декабре 2015 New York Times цитирует ее, описывая анти-клинтоновский скандал с тэгом "NotMyAbuela". Абрамс писала "Clinton says there are 7 ways she's just like my abuela. My abuela lied only about how skinny I looked."

В феврале 2017 Fox News цитирует Абрамс в связи со скандалом вокруг фотографии Келлиэн Конуэй в Овальном кабинете. Абрамс писала "Liberals are talking about disrespectful behavior of Kellyanne Conway in Oval Office I think they've forgotten about one thing" и помещала фотографии Обамы и Клинтона.

Следует ли удивляться тому, что под именем Джен Абрамс скрывался профессиональный российский тролль с улицы Савушкина?
Из новой информационной бомбы - расследования РБК:
Сейчас аккаунт @Jenn_Abrams (зарегистрирован на номер с префиксом +7) и сайт Jennabrams.com заблокированы. Аккаунтов, подобных «Дженне Абрамс», у «фабрики» были десятки. Около десяти сотрудников «американского отдела» занимались соцсетью Twitter: их задачей была не предвыборная гонка как таковая, а создание аккаунтов и проведение флешмобов, которые будут подхватывать крупные СМИ и ключевые медиаперсоны, рассказывает сотрудник «Фабрики».
http://www.rbc.ru/technology_and_media/17/10/2017/59e0c17d9a79470e05a9e6c1
Некоторые детали про деятельность "американского отдела" были известны ранее, но РБК сообщает дополнительные занимательные детали.
Главой «американского отдела» собеседники журнала РБК единогласно называют 27-летнего уроженца Азербайджана Джейхуна Асланова. Сам он опроверг в разговоре с корреспондентом РБК эту информацию. Но помимо слов трех источников журнала — нынешнего сотрудника «фабрики», экс-работника «американского департамента» и источника, знакомого с деятельностью организации, — в распоряжении журнала РБК есть сообщение из Telegram-чата, созданное Аслановым и посвященное промежуточным итогам работы «фабрики» в США. <...>
В распоряжении журнала РБК есть список почти 120 сообществ и тематических аккаунтов Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, которые работали до августа 2017-го. Подлинность подтверждается скриншотами с постами групп и отдельных аккаунтов, сделанными из внутренней панели администраторов (тоже заблокированы). Причастность «троллей» к имеющемуся списку подтвердил также источник журнала РБК, близкий к руководству «фабрики». Кроме того, больше половины аккаунтов в Twitter зарегистрированы на номера с префиксом +7, следует из данных сервиса восстановления пароля. <...>
Примерно 10 млн уникальных пользователей из числа жителей США видели хотя бы одно рекламное объявление, созданное структурами, связанными с «фабрикой», приводил статистику Facebook. На Савушкина предпочитают измерять охватом: в августе 2016-го минимальный показатель был 15 млн в неделю, в октябре 2016-го была взята максимальная планка — 70 млн просмотров в неделю, следует из внутренней статистики «фабрики», полученной журналом РБК в начале 2017-го. <...>
В общей сложности «троллям», которые представлялись вымышленными именами сотрудников групп в соцсетях, удалось сформировать список примерно из 100 ничего не подозревающих активистов — местных жителей, которые в итоге помогали с организацией офлайн-активностей. Через сообщества «фабрики» в США было организовано около 40 разного рода митингов и акций, следует из внутренних отчетов организации.

Date: 2017-10-17 08:52 pm (UTC)Разоблачили этот аккаунт еще в мае 2017.
В июле его заморозили.
Тем не менее он восстановился и продолжал успешно работать. В августе этого года он запустил в оборот фейковую фотографию якобы с митинга Трампа.
"Massive crowd waiting outside for the Trump rally in Phoenix!” tweeted @TEN_GOP on Tuesday night, an influential pro-Trump twitter account that calls itself the “unofficial Twitter of Tennessee Republicans.
"But... but... media says everyone hates Trump. I'm confused."
That person was right to be confused.
The aerial shot was not taken at Tuesday night’s Trump rally, which filled up only part of the Phoenix Convention Center.
It was a photo of the 2016 Cleveland Cavaliers NBA Championship parade in Cleveland, 427 days ago and 2,000 miles away.

Date: 2017-10-18 07:57 pm (UTC)The account, @TEN_GOP, was enormously popular, amassing at least 136,000 followers between its creation in November 2015 and when Twitter shut it down in August, according to a snapshot of the account captured by the Internet Archive just before the account was "permanently suspended."

Date: 2017-10-18 11:15 pm (UTC)Two days before election day, Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway tweeted a post by @Ten_GOP regarding Hillary Clinton’s email.
“Mother of jailed sailor: 'Hold Hillary to same standards as my son on Classified info' #hillarysemail #WeinerGate” the tweet reads.
Three weeks before the election, Brad Parscale, the Trump campaign’s digital director, retweeted a separate post from @Ten_GOP.
“Thousands of deplorables chanting to the media: "Tell The Truth!" RT if you are also done w/ biased Media!” the tweet read.
President Trump’s son Donald Trump Jr. followed the account until its closure on August 23rd of this year. Trump Jr. retweeted the account three times, including an allegation of voter fraud in Florida one week before the election.
“BREAKING: #VoterFraud by counting tens of thousands of ineligible mail in Hillary votes being reported in Broward County, Florida Please, RT,” the tweet read.
Trump Jr. also retweeted the account on Election Day.
“This vet passed away last month before he could vote for Trump.. Here he is in his #MAGA hat.. #voted #ElectionDay,” the account wrote.
Former Trump National Security Advisor Michael Flynn retweeted the Russian-backed troll account at least once. His son, Michael Flynn Jr., retweeted the account 34 times before it was removed from Twitter in August for its ties to Russian propaganda.

Date: 2017-10-19 11:29 pm (UTC)The Gateway Pundit, another conservative outlet, cited the Russian account in 19 different stories, ranging from one about a motorcyclist who drove through an anti-Trump protest, for which he was arrested, to a story about how it was unfair that banks had stopped lending money to French nationalist presidential candidate Marine Le Pen.

"Twitter users were outraged"
http://www.dailywire.com/news/12631/snl-writer-viciously-targets-10-year-old-barron-hank-berrien
After an unrelenting backlash by disgusted Americans on social media, the show has chosen to suspend Rich indefinitely. Roughly 80,000 people signed a Change.org petition, calling for her to be fired. Rich suspended her Twitter account following the outcry.

В результате Кэти Рич отстранили от работы, а у Трампа появился повод огрызнуться на NBC.
In the conversation with Mr. Trump, the Fox News host Sean Hannity described Barron as “a wonderful, smart, charming kid,” adding: “And then, they attack him. That’s got to hurt you and Melania.”
Mr. Trump replied: “Well, ‘Saturday Night Live’ — a person from ‘Saturday Night Live’ was terrible. It’s a failing show. It’s not funny. Alec Baldwin’s a disaster. He’s terrible on the show and, by the way, I don’t mind some humor but it’s terrible. But for them to attack, for NBC to attack my 10-year-old son —”
Mr. Hannity said, “Horrible.”
Mr. Trump continued: “It’s a disgrace. He’s a great boy. And it’s not an easy thing for him. Believe me.”

Date: 2017-10-26 06:02 pm (UTC)“According to BuzzFeed’s reporting, one the Russian accounts, @TEN_GOP, which masqueraded as the Twitter account for the Tennessee Republican Party, was allowed to tweet many lies about me and my district for months and was particularly active during one of my town hall meetings earlier this year. It is most disturbing to me that this Russian account pushed an “Impeach Maxine Waters” hashtag that ultimately trended on Twitter during that afternoon. The hashtag appeared to be coordinated with large, elaborate posters that were posted outside the town hall venue by disrupters, who were probably given the financial resources and assistance necessary to carry out their campaign of disruption. It is for this reason that I am now calling upon Twitter to provide detailed information regarding all Russian-linked accounts that targeted me and my congressional district."

Date: 2017-10-18 03:25 am (UTC)Russia’s most infamous troll farm recruited US activists to help stage protests and organize self-defense classes in black communities as part of an effort to sow divisions in US society ahead of the 2016 election and well into 2017.
Four people contacted by what is believed to be the “American Department” of the St. Petersburg-based Internet Research Agency told BuzzFeed News that while they found their contacts strange, they never suspected that they were the target of foreign recruitment.

Date: 2017-10-20 11:41 pm (UTC)Twitter’s CEO Jack Dorsey twice retweeted a now-deleted account that was allegedly run out of Russia’s “troll factory” in March of last year.
The account, @Crystal1Johnson, claimed to be an African-American woman, and mostly posted uplifting stories like the one retweeted by Dorsey.<...>“Johnson,” who claimed to be from Richmond, Va., would then infrequently tweet links to inflammatory stories about Hillary Clinton.

Date: 2017-11-08 02:01 am (UTC)The Daily Beast analyzed a dataset of 6.5 million tweets containing election keywords like “Hillary” and “Trump” that was collected over 33 hours last Nov. 7-9 by Baltimore-based data scientist Chris Albon.
The data are not comprehensive—only tweets with one of the keywords were collected, and limitations in Twitter’s API prevent a full capture even of those. But they represent a significant sampling of Election Day Twitter.
