Facebook, Twitter and Google berated by senators on Russia
Nov 2017, BBC
Russian operatives, likely working from St Petersburg, provoked angry Americans to take to the streets [using social media and fake news], a US Senate committee heard on Wednesday.
Lawyers for three technology companies - Facebook, Twitter and Google - were told they were grossly underestimating the scale of the problem.
"You just don't get it," said California Senator Dianne Feinstein.
"What we’re talking about is a cataclysmic change. What we’re talking about is the beginning of cyber-warfare."
