In September 2017, Facebook told congressional investigators it had discovered that hundreds of fake accounts linked to a Russian troll farm had bought $100,000 in advertisements targeting the 2016 U.S.

That year, CNN, Fox, and others spent billions influencing Americans.

Why do you think there is only one Russian troll farm?

That is only what got caught.

Not like Russia is going to release numbers. At least in America, companies are forced to publicise those them.
