Assange was talking about the article which specifically discussed the alleged online trolls hired by the Russian government to spread propaganda.

Furthermore, Rappler suspected the Wikileak founder’s tweet questioning “their statement about their ownership issues was a sign that there’s a possible Russian presence in the Philippine cyber space”, based on the article published in Pinoy Trending.

That tweet made the news website conclude that it has affected the decision of Securities and Exchange Commissions to revoke their license to operate.

Due to what Assange said, several netizens who are also criticizing the social news website reacted with conformity with him.

There is one netizen who even declared that Rappler has no capability to write about bots and investigate about them. In addition, the netizen said that the claims of the social news website are not technically sound.

The writer of the report, Natashya Gutierrez, which Assange classified as the “stupidest article” he had ever read, responded to his declaration.

She said that she is willing to hear the side of the Wikileaks founder if he wants to clarify anything regarding the said article, based on the article.
