House Democrats released a trove of data, metadata, Facebook ads, and Twitter accounts run out of the Kremlins troll farm.
The ad was highly specificand specifically Russian.
It was for a Facebook group called Defend The 2nd. Above an image showing a cornucopia of bullets, it billed itself as The community of 2nd Amendment supporters, guns lovers & patriots. That was how it appeared to the publicthe American publicbut Facebook internally held data that told a different story.
Ad targeting information associated with Defend The 2nd showed how highly targeted it was. The location for viewership had to be within the United States. They had to be between the ages of 18 to over 65. They had to match Facebook users with interests including the National Rifle Association, Second Amendment Sisters, Gun Owners of America, Concealed carry in the United States, and Second Amendment to the United States Constitution. .............
