Wharfie, It's illegal for a foreign government to interfere in an American election. Posting on social media is an incredible stretch of the word "interference." Social media is supposed to be an open forum. Anyone from anywhere should be allowed to post anything. There is no law that says, "The First Amendment doesn't apply if the person is working for a foreign government and is trying to influence opinions for an upcoming election." That's stupid.

It's illegal for a foreign government to interfere in an American election. Is it? Can you site the law? What are the ramifications? Throw Putin in jail? I doubt he was even involved. Hell I'm not convinced these Facebook posts were even of Russian origin and frankly couldn't care. In my mind if you are dumb enough to be influenced by social media regarding who to vote for than maybe we should take away your right to vote. You don't think we have people in the CIA etc. trying to influence elections via the net? Of course we do. Who cares?
