Highlights from the article about a Russian Troll factory worker:
- They were expected to meet a quota of at least 120 comments a day
- They masqueraded as Americans
- The “troll factory” had many different departments, one specialized in making memes
- The troll workers had up to 100 accounts
- Workers would also use virtual private networks - VPNs - to disguise their real location, which was St.
Petersburg, Russia
- Sometimes “trolls” would be expected to respond to another “troll’s” comments or post, to give the
appearance of a discussion involving two unconnected users
