Interesting from @business's @KurtWagner8: FB meets FBI to discuss 2020 election security.
Things that would not have happened in 2015...

@business @KurtWagner8 Meanwhile, catching up on this look ahead to 2020 threats from @AuthorPMBarrett of @NYUSternBHR.
Very welcome to see someone underline the danger of domestic disinfo.
"Most purposely false information in the US is generated by domestic forces."
Yep.

@business @KurtWagner8 @AuthorPMBarrett @NYUSternBHR Remember @TEN_GOP?
Even in 2016, if there hadn't been American trolls, the Russian troll farm wouldn't have had anyone to impersonate.

@business @KurtWagner8 @AuthorPMBarrett @NYUSternBHR @TEN_GOP Also worth remembering that, even at the start of its operations in 2014, the Russian troll farm worked on multiple platforms.
Remember #ColumbianChemicals? That was on YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Wikipedia, crowdsourced news sites, and mobile phone networks.
@business @KurtWagner8 @AuthorPMBarrett @NYUSternBHR @TEN_GOP Info ops have not stood still since then. Nor have the main platforms, which is why we've seen so many takedowns over the past year or two.
Threat actors are using all the platforms they can to try and spread their messages while staying hidden.
