In fact, we're proudly fueling conspiracies of the both sides!

Russia’s disinformation campaigns are targeting African Americans
Quote
Of all the hashtags we found, the most commonly used was #blacklivesmatter, with 2,109 mentions, followed by #racism (1,381), #policebrutality (1,159), and #blackexcellence (805). We see a similar pattern for word pairs in a tweet. The most used word pairs typically had racial justice themes: “African American,” “police officer,” “lives matter,” “black people” and “human rights.”

Initially, there was a near-equal distribution between positive and negative words when we analyzed the entire data set. However, once we estimated the sentiment of each individual tweet, we found a significantly higher proportion of negative tweets (59.9 percent) than positive (22.4 percent) and neutral (17.7 percent) tweets. The three most common words in the tweets coded as having a negative sentiment were “racism,” “black” and “police,” while the top three most common words in the positive tweets were “love,” “black” and “beautiful.”

Most of the visual content revolved around the plight of African Americans. On the one hand, positive images and videos featured stories about black excellence and achievements that helped further scientific, technological and social progress. On the other, negative visuals typically showed incidents of police brutality or white Americans doing something racist.
Why are you not banned?

Quoting a WaPo article is a bannable offense now? or do you just think anyone who contradicts your worldview ought to get the boot?
