- rgbrgb 5y agoI've heard that some of the "free speech" "social networks" are similar ops.
- rnd0 5y agoIn a cointelpro op the aim is to dissolve and break up movements. Parler etc seem to have had the aim of amplifying and providing cover (a way to coordinate in secret) to the violent jan 6th extremists. I think that's a difference worth considering.
- jszymborski 5y agoNot much reason for the NSA or FSB to create new social networks, I'm sure FB and vkontakte suite their needs just fine.
- rgbrgb 5y agoTrue and fb will have a wider social graph context. Though it seems useful (for threat monitoring) to also have trimmed self-selections with only people who want to communicate privately and "speak freely".
