Russia targetting british teenagers online
| Darren Linvill, a specialist in Russian disinformation at Clemson University in South Carolina, US, said: “What they are doing is political warfare on an industrialised scale and it is aimed at all western democracy.
“It is well funded, it is dangerous and it is hiding in plain sight.”
