So, the Counsel for Facebook says that the Russians only spent “a drop in the bucket” compared to all of he money the two parties spent. Facebook has been playing this game from the beginning, downplaying what the Russians really did, when Facebook, among others, has no clue how much the Russians spent. I’m not sure that the US Intelligence Community does right now. It is too soon for that level of analysis.
Facebook intentionally distorted the money spent, pretending that Russian IPs and payment in rubles was necessary, when it is clear now that neither of those was necessary or required. Nobody yet can do anything but guess at how big this campaign was. It is still going on. In the meantime, we might wonder why Facebook spends more time defending themselves than cooperating with intelligence agencies to stop the ads.
Judging from the public reaction to the head of Advertising at Facebook over the weekend, the general public is not buying their reaction either.
