Federal prosecutors have revealed that Russia paid an American media company to push pro-Kremlin messages through social media influencers such as Benny Johnson, Tim Pool, and Dave Rubin.
The prosecutors allege that the American media company was used as a conduit for Russian propaganda, with the influencers unknowingly spreading messages that were favorable to the Kremlin.
This revelation sheds light on the extent of Russia’s efforts to influence public opinion in the United States through social media platforms.
It is a stark reminder of the importance of being vigilant against foreign interference in our democracy and the need for greater transparency in the online media space.
