we spoke to bloomberg technology's selina wang and tara maller, senior policy advisor for the counterxtremism project from washington. tara: not only did you see that russian bots come out in full force after the horrific and tragic events in florida, but you also saw the robert mueller indictment, citing facebook thirtysomething times, twitter, and youtube all mentioned. that is because the tech companies have a number of problems on their hands. the bots, which came out after the florida shooting, creating hashtags, trying to create division with divisive rhetoric and fake news conspiracy theories. this is not new. the real concern here is that the same tactic and strategy is going to be taken again in the midterm elections, and the same tactic is also taken by terrorist organizations who operate on these platforms. what you are seeing right now is another issue area, a tragic school shooting, that russia is trying to exploit across these platforms. they clearly have the ability to do so, despite the minor reforms that have been made. emily: selina, walk us through the tactics step
