View submission: Suspected Campaign from Russia on Reddit
Very cool
Does Reddit have a system in place already that could have detected this campaign, and if so how might the system change given the information about this campaign?

We do have systems in place for catching coordinated behavior on the platform. While we have been happy with the progress that has been made, there will always be more that we can do. This is where we really encourage users, moderators, and 3rd parties to report things to us as soon as they see them. As was mentioned in a previous article[1], this group did have particularly good OpSec (meaning they were good at hiding their tracks), so collaboration was particularly helpful. Here is a previous post[2] that discusses how we are thinking about content manipulation on the platform.

A drop in the ocean. The entire internet is one huge battle for information agendas. The bigger question is how are these information wars ever going to be fixed?

Why are there so many comments but so few upvotes? The thread has thousands while the highest comment, this one, is at like 150.
