Stumbling across a Russian troll activity on your social media feed is not impossible but is unlikely, according to a B.C.-based internet safety specialist.
Online trolls can come from anywhere, and there is no significant difference between a domestic one and one who might be from Russia.

The evidence suggests that hyper-focusing on Russian trolls is not unwarranted, as there has been troll-like interference in the past. However, it is a much larger issue than just one country.

If someone is breaking the law, there are Criminal Code offences that can be pursued through law enforcement. If somebody is causing drama, it is important to refer to your community guidelines.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is used to fight social media trolls. However, Laur said there is a constant struggle between those trying to combat misinformation and those trying to spread it.
