Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
1) Be civil
Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
2) No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
3) Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
4) No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
5) No AI generated content.
Content posted must not be created by AI with the intent to mimic the style of existing images

Edit: bonus Putin Ordered Kremlin to ‘Destroy NATO and EU From Within’
The British tool must be ages behind Facebook's internal tools and Russia has to ask them for ideas to get started.
Of course Russia does what it can. But it only gets Facebook's external data, not their full internal tracking information.
Russia has to play the algorithm while Facebook can just change the parameters to rank the content however they want.
The imbalance of power is so big that Russia couldn't have influenced the election in a meaningful way.
