    A Facebook comment argued that mail-in ballots “will lead to fraud for this election,” while an Instagram comment amplified the erroneous claim that 28 million ballots went missing in the past four elections.

    The messages have been emanating in recent months from the accounts of young people in Arizona seemingly expressing their own views — standing up for President Trump in a battleground state and echoing talking points from his reelection campaign. Far from representing a genuine social media groundswell, however, the posts are the product of a sprawling yet secretive campaign that experts say evades the guardrails put in place by social media companies to limit online disinformation of the sort used by Russia during the 2016 campaign.

    Teenagers, some of them minors, are being paid to pump out the messages at the direction of Turning Point Action, an affiliate of Turning Point USA, the prominent conservative youth organization based in Phoenix, according to four people with independent knowledge of the effort. Their descriptions were confirmed by detailed notes from relatives of one of the teenagers who recorded conversations with him about the efforts.

    The campaign draws on the spam-like behavior of bots and trolls, with the same or similar language posted repeatedly across social media. But it is carried out, at least in part, by humans paid to use their own accounts, though nowhere disclosing their relationship with Turning Point Action or the digital firm brought in to oversee the day-to-day activity.

    In response to questions from The Post, Twitter on Tuesday suspended at least 20 accounts involved in the activity for “platform manipulation and spam.” Facebook also removed a number of accounts as part of what the company said is an ongoing investigation...

    Yeah..........its "secretive" that's why and how you posted this tabloid gossip. How stupid are you leftists......or better yet how think do you stupid everyone else to be? I have an "idea".....lets hire the guy who shit on Pelosi's property in California to come to DC and shit in the halls of congress? Another "peaceful" protest might just be required to get action, if the people show Pelosi what they really think of her.....

    You can't make this shit up.....only in liberal LA LA land. Everything's a conspiracy.........until its proven not to be with the real conspiracy coming from the corrupt left and the fake news. There is no sexual perversion.........its a conspiracy......then came the arrests that are ignored by the press. There was no SPYING.....on Trump its a conspiracy.......until the documents prove the real conspiracy came from the left side of the isle.....the one's who actually conspired with Russia and Foreign governments to attack Trump.

    So now.........there is another conspiracy. The KUNG FLU did not come from China and the leftist congress did not provide tax payer funds to help R&D the virus? Now there is hard evidence. Strange how Pelosi shut down an official investigation into the missing tax payer funds...no? http://www.breitbart.com/politics/20...virus-origins/

    I'm sure you think that's equivalent to paying kids to post lies and propaganda on social media.

    Facebook and Twitter suspended some of their accounts for spreading disinformation and you think it's gossip?
    I know you RWNJs think the whole world and possibly the surrounding planets are all aligned against trump but use your head, man. It is what it is.

    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    You can become aware by reading the entire article along with the hyperlinks.

    I don't think it hurts kids to flip burgers or mow lawns during the summer. You know, good, honest work.
