  The paradox there is that ‘it takes one to know one’. Maybe the adage is wrong?

  These isn't something vague, we're talking about a specific authoritarian government who's already been caught manipulating social media. https://about.fb.com/news/2019/08/removing-cib-china/ https://about.fb.com/news/2019/08/removing-cib-china/

      We know manipulation is occurring, and to me that's an argument for greater transparency and openness so we can tell when it's happening. I don't agree with the "head in the sand" approach where manipulation is glossed over, ignored or rebranded under terms like "online reputation management". That being said, the "anyone who disagrees with me is a shill" attitude is just as poisonous to online discussions as the shilling itself.

  If you can't see the astroturfing that happens everywhere online, you are the idiot who is incapable of comprehending things. I promise.
