Answer» Answer: This is FRESH AIR. I'm Terry Gross. The New York Times just reported that in 2016 Rick Gates, then-deputy campaign manager for Donald Trump, requested proposals from an Israeli company to CREATE fake online identities and use social media manipulation to help defeat Trump's rivals for the Republican nomination in the primary and Hillary Clinton in the general ELECTION. The proposals were apparently never acted on, but we KNOW that Russian operatives made effective use of Facebook and Twitter in SEEKING to influence the 2016 presidential campaign. |
