Because of the sensational headline, I'm not even going to click on this. Is there even a real difference between The Guardian and the Daily Mail?

- hntroll666 5y agoI tend to agree, but the Guardian does have expert knowledge on the subject of deceiving and harassing citizens.
- ilovepitchdecks 5y agoAfter I read your comment the second time 5 minutes later, I had a realization (?): Are you actually being sarcastic? (That would explain the downvotes too. And your username.)

- propertymagnate 5y agoI suspected the headline was sensationalist but on reading the article, I would say it isn't, and the headline is correct. It has examples of the campaigns of national political parties of different nations (hence world leaders) using a loophole that facebook pages can do certain things facebook accounts can't to boost their engagement and/or avoid the scrutiny an account would get. It also has a really good non-techy breakdown explaining how it works. I think it's HTML5? Having read it, I would say it's a really good piece of journalism.
- Jonnax 5y agoIt's an article about governments creating fake facebook pages posing as people to influence political debate on facebook. Detailing how it works and as well as how slow facebook are to respond. What is sensational about that? Unless you dislike reporting of propaganda efforts by governments.
