Tin foil hat time: What if it's the Russians just trying to spark a civil war over here?
No, that's been their plan the entire time.
Yeah this is just regular hat type thinking
It most likely is a state actor with the scale at play.
What should be more concerning is that they have these lists of people to target.
Just pay a data broker. I'm sure it's trivial to find demographics tied to phone numbers.
I think there’s a lot of ways to connect those dots. It’s not very “tin foil” in my opinion. There’s no way to “invade” the US. They have to destroy it from within.
I'm sure we'll be in a Hunt for Red October situation eventually.
Another poster suggested a Russian disinformation campaign, I would suggest a more home-grown hate faction that was grown from the poll-watcher contingent. They culled and sifted lists of people that were most likely to "spoil the vote" and had nothing else to do do but harass people.
Ya I did, it probably is, thanks for bringing this up. We need to get the word out! Fuck misinformation!
“Some recipients reported being told they were selected for deportation or to report to a re-education camp,” the agency said.
How is anyone supposed to believe this? Oh wait, I remember. Because it was voted for.
Hey, we get what we voted for. Our only hope is that people stand up to them. But I won’t hold my breath.
Just so everyone is absolutely clear, AT&t, Verizon, etc, are 1000%
Was not the sale of that information to unscrupulous parties, it was a lack of proper configurations and security measures to prevent that information from leaking.
Uh oh, did you accidentally the whole thing?
Now, how does the FBI know? Surely they're not reading our texts, are they?
Nah that's clearly the NSAs job
