From a nondescript office building in St. Petersburg, Russia, an army of well-paid “trolls” has tried to wreak havoc all around the Internet — and in real-life American communities.
This story of Adrian Chen in Russian definitely turns weird at the end.
Totally off topic, but I was pleasantly surprised to learn that the Chicago City Clerk is using WordPress.
I was just now purchasing a vehicle sticker and decided to do a quick “view source.” “WP” was there… Had to share this one! Love it when this happens. Too funny!
