Confront Xal’atath When Dark Heart Arrives on May 7
Dragonflight: Dark Heart Content Update Notes
Do you consider the Horde to be "the bad guys" or is it more complex?

She was reporting to and receiving instructions from Torshin, a government official. Your claim that she was lobbying for her own personal enjoyment is laughable.

I'm serious though. Amazon owns curse. They're in the social media business. I'm really curious if there's any thought being given for their liability the same as facebook. Originally Posted by PACOX

She talked with Torshin because they had similar interests (he also happens to have lifetime NRA membership). Originally Posted by fengosa

10th Central Bank deputy director isn't that high level position; Central Bank is also technically not part of Russian government.

It would be interesting but I'm not sure if feasible to target Amazon. I mean technically if you'd go after say Amazon because of something on MMO-Champ then what about Twitch? You couldn't tell me some Twitch chats aren't compromised. How about anything under AWS (Amazon Web Services), which is massive. Anybody can spin up some Twitter bots on AWS.

So they talked and worked together, but it was all personal and nothing more? Originally Posted by Shalcker

Yes, it didn't become "something more" because she didn't get any results that would require "something more". Originally Posted by Dontrike

The difference is that amazon owns curse and twitch, so people just using AWS wouldn't really apply in the same way it would for amazon/facebook. Originally Posted by PACOX

But wasn't the thing with Facebook was they were knowing providing a platform for disinformation while profiting from it. So if was found out that Vlad was using AWS to host his bot net, I think someone would want to question Amazon. Originally Posted by Ripster42

Gotcha. I was reading some other stuff on FB around that time so it all blends together. Originally Posted by Vegas82

Kinda weird watching people claim Butina wasn't a spy at this point.
After Trump was elected she contacted Torshin and stated "I am ready for further orders" according to what I have read.
Can't get more obvious than that that she was taking orders.Since we can't call out Trolls and Bad Faith posters and the Ignore function doesn't actually ignore it. Add
"mmo-champion.com##li.postbitignored"
to your ublock or adblock filter to actually ignore ignored posters. Now just need a way to ignore responses to them as well.

That's one issue. They were also called before congress to talk about russian meddling on their platform by using it to disseminate disinformation/propaganda. Originally Posted by PACOX

Further edit: To be clear, they were questioned about more than just the CA scandal and russians buying ads, but also about russian "bots" using their platform to disseminate propaganda.

They were questioned about both during the hearing. Originally Posted by Vegas82

Ah yes the "didn't get results therefore it makes it okay" thing you and every other Trump/Putin worshiper preaches on a daily basis. Originally Posted by Shalcker

MAGA Hats putting their finger in their eyes

If you haven't been followings, 5 witnesses were identified (was it least) and just recently approved for immunity today. You put 2 and 2 together and you get 5 very important witnesses. They named sometime today with news whether or not P Mannys trial will begin on Wed or get pushed back.
Since almost everyone else plead guilty or not in the US, this will be the first major trial of the investigation. The truth will (not) be televised!Last edited by PACOX; 2018-07-23 at 05:33 PM.

So what and why would she be getting orders from a Russian Oligarch for right after Trump is elected? Was she asking what he wanted on his pizza? Originally Posted by Shalcker

NRA was her personal fit because she was running gun rights organization in Russia. Originally Posted by Dontrike

Because there is nothing going beyond that would not be open to alternative interpretation.You know it didn't happen how? Been in talks with her lately?
