  1. This "election influence" BS got started with government fake news: the Rushans are "interfering" in our elections (presumably in the same way the US interferes in theirs and everyone else's) by "hacking"; but they take out facebook ads, too, adding to their interfering influence. The implication is the fake news, that twitter posts and facebook ads amount to an ILLIGITIMATE effort to affect the election outcome. Everyone is legally, ethically, and morally entitled to express his opinion. Whether his expression is persuasive or not is irrelevant. "Hacking", though, would be criminal, genuinely illegitimate effort, according to current laws. The spurious association of "hacking" and "interference" IS the fake news that sent us down this screwy path. Influence is NOT interference, it is participation.
