这份报告总结了对Facebook、Twitter和Alphabet(谷歌)提供的社交媒体帖子和元数据的庞大数据集的审查，以及一组相关的数据，作为对互联网研究机构(IRA)影响力操作的调查证据。它包括对俄罗斯影响行动的概述，汇总统计数据，以及一系列关键结论。报告中提到的一些主要意见包括：
威胁依然存在；有证据表明，在几个平台上继续进行干扰行动。
尽管Facebook旗下的照片和视频分享社交网站Instagram是爱尔兰共和军的重要平台，但报告指出，它并不经常被提及为社交媒体的关键战场。
美国黑人社区似乎一直是专门针对的目标，爱尔兰共和军的重点是“发展黑人受众，招募美国黑人作为资产”。
选民压制策略包括[1]恶意误导；[2]候选人支持重定向；以及[3]和选民抑制投票率。
行动包括对总统候选人唐纳德·特朗普和希拉里·克林顿以及其他知名人物的偏见，包括参议员特德·克鲁兹、马尔科·卢比奥、林赛·格雷厄姆、约翰·麦凯恩和本·卡森博士。
This report summarizes a review of an expansive data set of social media posts and metadata provided by Facebook, Twitter, and Alphabet (Google), plus a set of related ata, to serve as evidence for an investigation into the Internet Research Agency (IRA) influence operations. It includes an overview of Russian influence operations, a collection of summary statistics, and a set of key takeaways. Some of the key observations noted in the report include:
The threat remains; there is evidence of continued interference operations on several platforms.
Although Instagram, a photo and video-sharing social networking site owned by Facebook, was a significant platform for the IRA the report notes that it is not often mentioned as a key battleground on social media.
Black-American communities seem to have been specifically targeted, with the IRA focused on “developing Black audiences and recruiting Black Americans as assets.”
Voter suppression tactics included [1] malicious misdirection; [2] candidate support redirection; and [3] and voter turnout suppression.
Operations included biases for presidential candidates Donald Trump and Hilary Clinton, and other prominent figures including Sens. Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Lindsay Graham, John McCain, and Dr. Ben Carson.
