SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - A group believed to be Russian has remained active on internet services favored by far-right Americans, showing efforts to interfere in U.S. politics continue after the election, according to reports from social media research firm Graphika and nonprofit Advance Democracy Inc.

The group, which Graphika also believes to be connected to the Russian government, runs at least 20 accounts on a new version of an internet bulletin board once known as TheDonald, in reference to former president Donald Trump. Discussion site Reddit banned the forum last year, saying it encouraged violence against public officials.
