Impact of Russian media and ‘troll’ accounts on Brexit vote ‘not fully assessed’
The British Government failed to fully assess the impact Russian state-run media and “troll” accounts could have had on the EU referendum, the UK's Intelligence and Security Committee (ISC) has found.
In its report today, the committee said open source studies had pointed to the prevalence of anti-EU or pro-Brexit stories on the RT and Sputnik news networks as evidence of Russian attempts to influence the process.
