Looking at his history I’m a bit confused. I do see one instance where he was apparently accused of posting a Russian misinformation site and banned for it, although playing devils advocate I could see that as a genuine mistake as well. Looking at the rest of his history nothing really jumps out at me as being that unusual. Most of the articles do seem to have a slightly anti-European bent to them, and I did see one exchange that seemed slightly anti-Ukraine, but I’m not really seeing anything else that looks like actual propaganda.
It seems like a tough call to make. On the one hand propaganda works best when it’s subtle so the fact nothing jumps out is somewhat expected, but on the other hand we don’t want to start witch trials and start branding people as agents with only really flimsy evidence. McCarthyism was a terrible point in US history and did far more harm than any possible good and I’d hate to see something like that happen again. Equally though Russia is known for spreading propaganda on social media though, and there is danger there.
Warning, Mee spam and spread Russian propaganda (check his history)
