Russian trolls stole a photo of my face

Boston Calling

Available for over a year

Dean Obeidallah, who calls himself the only Muslim American to host a daily radio show, recently found out that a photo of his face had been used by Russian hackers as part of a wider disinformation campaign meant to sway public opinion in the run-up to the 2016 election. With the help of the online publication The Daily Beast, he did some digging to figure out how this happened. (Image: Dean Obeidallah is the host of the “The Dean Obeidallah Show” on SiriusXM.
