Here's how technology companies and products were cited in the Mueller report.
Russia's Internet Research Agency reached millions of social media users on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Russian operatives communicated with the Trump campaign under false identities,"without revealing their Russian association," and interacted with prominent pro-Trump activists in order to arrange activities that ranged from the staging of political rallies, to"confederate" events and even an organization under the hashtag #KidsforTrump, according to the report.
Russian operatives had been dabbling in social media until around 2014, when they consolidated their efforts under a single program known internally as the"translator department," according to the report. They later began sending operatives to the U.S. to further the election goals of the program. One of the IRA accounts, which claimed to be a Trump supporter from Texas, had 70,000 followers. Another anti-immigration persona had 24,000 followers. A third, called @march_for_trump, organized a series of rallies in support of Trump across the U.S. The accounts posted 175,993 tweets, though the report says only 8.4% of those were election related.
"The Office identified dozens of U.S. rallies organized by the IRA," the report says."The earliest evidence ... was a 'confederate rally' in November 2015. The IRA continued to organize rallies even after the 2016 U.S. presidential election."
