As many as 126 million Facebook users may have seen content produced and circulated by Russian operatives. Twitter discovered that 2,752 accounts were controlled by Russians, and more than 36,000 bots tweeted 1.4 million times during the election. And Google disclosed for the first time that it had found 1,108 videos with 43 hours of content related to the Russian effort on YouTube. It also found $4,700 worth of Russian search and display ads.
