Facebook allows users to view past interaction with Kremlin-linked content

Curious to see if you "liked" or interacted with Russian/Macedonian/Ukrainian propaganda on FB or Instagram?

Facebook on Friday released a tool that allows users to see what Russian propaganda content they may have liked or followed on Facebook and Instagram.

The feature was created following a push from lawmakers, such as Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), who sent a letter to the social media firm asking for more clarity on the impact Russian meddling efforts may have had on users.
“I appreciate Facebook’s stated commitment to addressing this pernicious problem, but much more is necessary to protect against the kind of destructive disinformation campaign Russia mounted during the last election,” Blumenthal said in a statement emailed to The Hill on Friday.

“While I am hopeful Facebook will take even more robust steps to increase transparency in the future, they deserve recognition as the only major tech company that provided a substantive response to my request so far.

2. Switch to "View in desktop mode" in your mobile browser, it worked for me.

Though it fortunately said I had not liked or followed any. Didn't think so, but...

3. Switch to Desktop worked for me too and I was relieved to see....

You haven't liked or followed any pages or accounts from the IRA (Internet Research Agency).

I have a feeling it will be mostly Democrats that see the above message.

4. Yep, I saw that message.

And I think a lot of Independents won't.
