So I would sit with these propagandists, not just the guy in California, but dozens of them, and I would watch as they did this again and again successfully, not because they were Russian hackers, not because they were tech prodigies, not because they had unique political insights -- just because they understood how social media worked, and they were willing to exploit it to their advantage.
Então, eu me sentava com propagandistas, não só com esse cara, mas com dezenas deles, e eu observava como eles faziam isso, uma e outra vez, e com sucesso, não porque eram hackers russos, não porque eram prodígios, não porque tinham visões políticas únicas, mas porque entendiam como as mídias sociais funcionam, e exploravam isso a favor deles.
