From an interview with a Russian Troll factory worker:
- We are expected to meet a quota of at least 120 comments a day
- We masquerade as Americans
- Our “troll factory” has many different departments, one specializes in making memes
- Some of my comrades have up to 100 accounts per social media site
- We use virtual private networks - VPNs - to disguise our real location, which is St. Petersburg, Russia
- We are expected to respond to another “troll’s” comments or post, to give the appearance of a discussion involving two unconnected users
