Where is the best place to find out....

....exactly what kinds of things these fake accounts did? What kind of messages they put out. I heard about one instance where they villified a non-controversial black group, saying they were planning to harm white people. And I heard that there are equal and opposite attempts to stir up the far left. Has someone gathered this information together somewhere?

The US govt, foreign govt, Facebook, various watchdog groups, etc are still finding out more and more ways the bots and trolls have and still are getting through to U.S. citizens. This will never end...in fact the US is now just discovering what has been done and can still be done to break down a country's govt via social media and cyber war. The Russians are light years ahead of us since they have been doing this for a couple of decades! They attacked us and are ATTACKING US NOW in ways that we aren't even aware of yet.
