Responding to barrage of Russian propaganda, German law to hold Twitter, Facebook etc responsible for fake news

NOW a very serious question MUST be asked.....SINCE WHEN does a US ultra right wing conspiracy blogsite "INFOWARS" REPEAT virtually word for word Russian state media propaganda...AND still claim to be a Us right wing media site????
InfoWars now promoting stories saying the Syrian gas attack was a hoax & Trump shouldn't yield to neocon pressure to strike.

BTW..this is the most perfect example of just how info warfare is flowing these days....
The first tweets under the hashtag #SyriaHoax came from Russia. Cernovich picked up on it; now it's trending in the U.S via the US alt right sites....Infowars and Breitbart.com and Drudge Reports.....
So is this to be considered "a small war being fought via information warfare"....or is it "political warfare"....or "hybrid warfare"......or just good ole fashioned everyday politics"
In the 21st century these terms are fluid and will constantly change....but there is an underlining term that covers them all..."war short of violence".....

This bot-op (from Feb) started in Macedonia. It bears similarities to today's #SyriaHoax hashtag.

Another way to identify involvement of bots in promoting a story/hashtag (in this case, #SyriaHoax): Activity patterns that look like this:

NEITHER were the Russian trollers...
Boss of Russia Today, which heaped praise on Trump and said Hillary would start WW3: "We had a chance. But now it's ####ed. And not by us."

and it shows which accounts tweeted it and that 64% of them came from America.
FireKushner hashtag is an orchestrated effort that started w/ a few alt-right accts. The pattern of activity is definitely not organic
Roger Stone started anti-Kushner/pro-Bannon narrative on Breitbart 3 days ago
-Guy who started #FireKushner hashtag tweeted the article

How do rumours spread during a crisis? And why are some Russian-linked websites keen to spread them?
This takes a bit of a look at one of the folks behind "Veterans Today". A former ISI general was on the board:

Trump's missile attack has unleashed some major Russian/US bot trolling and anti Trump comments
A solid number of Russian twitter bots have been identified...and retweeted then by US based trolls....
Alt-right is trending #firekushner using all the same anti-Semitic sxxxxt they used on Trump opponents during campaign. Chickens, meet roost.
Trending heavily today.....driven by the twitter account @bakedalaska
