Good for them to make this sort of tool. But what exactly is going to come out of this?

How many people, especially the ones who fell for this stuff and went towards Trump, are going to publicly admit that they were bamboozled by the Russians?

Almost none. It's a huge slap on the face to realize you were pawn in a global game.

So to people that might actually use this service, is it going to change their opinions?

You seriously think the 'basket of deplorables' fell for anything except right-wing populism and the Dems failure to reach the working class? If changing opinions is the goal, getting back in touch with the common people might be a good start.

I have a suspicion that Russian bots changed very few minds. The kind if person who liked their propaganda was not already a progressive liberal.
