Forgive my ignorance, but didn't they say more about attempts to influence on social media more than actual infrastructure?

[-] Makan@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 1 week ago

NO

They said that after the fact, after they that they "hacked" the election machines, or "hacked" something.

It was vague enough to be misleading, to some degree, but they were acting like it was actual infrastructure; the whole media ran with it.

"Influencing" an election isn't a crime in this day and age.

Gotcha! I vaguely recall this, but also remember it being more bluster than anything because nothing actually happened lol

[-] Makan@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 week ago

Yeah, same, but to be fair, even I could be wrong; it was so long ago.

Sorry for the angry outburst on my part, but this thing has really misled people.
