I don't understand. Is the 'he' in this case Eric Geller or Tom Burt? Does your post mean that you suspect the reporting doesn't go far enough to verify Microsoft's claims or that Microsoft is falsifying their report?

I don't 'suspect' that, it's plain obvious there is nothing to verify.

The article does not even give enough information to verify the magnitude of the claim it makes, whether or not it succeeded and so on, so we can take it as a fact that this happened but it would certainly help if there was some more substance.

Either this is an ongoing investigation or there isn't much substance here.

Come on man.. there's mountains of evidence and countless stories indicating foreign involvement to help R's in our election system. Your logic could have held some circumstantial weight if there was one, maybe two stories but its countless. It can't be all "fake"

Can you show some of these evidences? Links?

I guess technically true but I still don't get why you say it? Any special reason why you mention this when it comes to this article?

If your response to every bit of news that contradicts your worldview is a reflexive "it's made up", then reality has come apart at the seams and nothing is real.

That's not my response to every bit of news, but this article is about as content free as it gets. A bit of substantiation would go a long way towards covering the 'reveal' in the title, as it is not much of anything is revealed.

The recorded live chat to the side of that video is one of the most bizarre-o things I've seen. Literally ran like a few bots ended up in the chat together and kept firing off like in https://www.reddit.com/r/SubredditSimulator/

Good find, thank you. That contains a ton of information that would have made the article a lot more useful.

This is jacquesm. jacquesm usually is reasonable AFAIK.

So I argue we do not go down this road right away.
