Another reason why Steemit is better than Facebook - They Sold Over 150K Political Ads tied to Fake Russian Accounts during the 2016 Election

Hello Fellow Steemians!

This is Chris Love, coming to you straight from the Capital

Of the State of Virginia in Richmond, VA (RVA).

I just saw the news! It looks like Facebook sold over 150K

in Political ads during the 2016 Election!

To me, this is just another reason why Steemit is so much better

than Facebook ever could of been!

I do love Steemit much more than Facebook.

I post from here into facebook at times and it is nice as I

Have family on there so they can keep up with me of sorts!

It would be nicer to have everyone on Steemit but that's

not going to happen.

This was shocking to hear that Facebook traced that they sold a Russia Co. over 150 K in ads

During the 2016 Election of Trump.

The ads were traced back to a trolling farm in Russia.

Facebook, the Social Media "Mogul" revealed the ads today, September 6, 2017 along with this:

  • They found more than 5,000 ads.

  • They spent over 150K.

  • They were placed between June, 2015 and May, 2017.

  • They gave all their findings to the Authorites.

And now a little humor.....

Well, I am not shocked. I am wondering if this will help to bring new people to

Steemitland! I started an instagram to try to get the word out about Steemit

More! I think people will love Steem Power and Steemitland as much as I do!

Take care Steemians!

Steem On!
