- A New York University study found that Russian social media schemes during the 2016 election had little meaningful effect on U.S. voter behavior.
- According to the study, the researchers found “no evidence of a meaningful relationship between exposure to the Russian foreign influence campaign and changes in attitudes, polarization, or voting behavior.”
- Russian disinformation was concentrated among social media users, with “only 1% of users account[ing] for 70 percent of exposures.”
