Internet Research Agency-Everybody's Fave Troll Farm

       So, your business is looking to improve its customer outreach.  You have an INstagram account; you have a Facebook presence; you have a "store" on eBay; Amazon  prime has you listed; but, your business is not expanding as you would like.  Plus, dealing with all this media networking takes valuable time.  Time = money- your money.   What to do?   Maybe go with an account doctor/guru/manager/expert service provider.   Somewhat like an investment account robot.   Perfect, you think.
And then you find a service provider as you look over the landscape.  You find YOUR DIGITAL FACE,  a Los Angeles -based startup. The contact person is  Yan Big Davis.  Really?
      In reality, really, it's all a sham created by the IRA, our dear friends in St. Petersburg, the Internet Research Agency, a.k.a. Mr. Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin's troll farm posing as a legitimate concern.  It is, in fact a TROLL FARM!  Yea, go get 'em Russyans.  You're the best.  Have some more vodka.  Celebrate.  "We've fooled the Amerikansky, again.  Sergei Lavrov:  "You Americans: you see a Russyan troll under every tree.  It's an absurd response to your own double dealing". 
     The existence of the web site was reported earlier by the Daily Beast.   New details of how it worked have been revealed by the WSJ.  These trolls do not limit their efforts, and can also be found in Iran, Cuba, Vietnam, UAE, and China.
    Large media companies have delisted the accounts on Google, etc.  Mr. Davis has not responded to inquiries.  Ha, ha, ha.  No doubt the inquiries should be sent to the Kremlin, where all social media in Russya is initiated.  Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh,
Russya.  It is a sad place, this largest country in the world.  Beset by its demons born of the GREAT MURDERER, Josef Stalin, 100 years ago.  Genetics is a source of much of the culture of Russya, and the current state of affairs underscores the continuing links to the past.  Waiting another 100 years to have the gene pool altered sufficiently to shake off the stigma would be advised.
See you in a century Ivan.
Sail On, sail on
