Splinter as a website owner or just as a generally (DCT) geeky person, do you have the tools to trace these posts back to their source? There's been a lot of discussion for years about Russian Troll Farms interfering in elections, posting fake news and generally disrupting news, groups, discussions etc because the more general chaos and distrust there is outside Russia, the weaker their opponents become.

This probably belongs in the book thread but now seems to be a good time to recommend "Scoop" by Evelyn Waugh. Regardless of the ultimate outcome of this sorry business, it seems to me that the media are rushing around, raising the stakes and finding ever more inventive ways to dramatise the situation Nobody wants to be the newspaper/tv/radio broadcaster who failed to predict the start of the war and so the journalistic pressure builds and builds.
My only consolation is that at least Boris Johnson is in the relatively harmless role of British Prime Minister and not out in Europe making up stories as a foreign correspondent for The Daily Beast.
