This was reported by Voice of America.
In particular, the site will make it possible to determine whether publications and accounts that appeared from January 2015 to August 2017 are associated with the Internet Research Agency from St. Petersburg.
This company was named among those that influence public opinion in the interests of the Russian authorities. Facebook Inc. employees characterize her as an “agent trying to undermine” democracy in the United States.
Earlier, there was hysteria in the American media about the work of the St. Petersburg “troll factory,” which, according to US intelligence services, “used the same techniques that it has been practicing for years on the Russian-speaking audience to influence the American elections.” In addition, the world's largest search engine, Google, will filter Russian media materials. The management of the Internet concern is looking for a way to lower the ranking, mainly of the RT and Sputnik sites, in the news selection.
