> The idea of mechanized disinformation as a trend moving forward seems likely. It think this is no longer a trend but reality. I often post on the Chinese propaganda Facebook page (CGTN), and the nationalists who answer usually use the country of origin to craft their response. America is a fascist state who invades countries. Canada is "America's lapdog". African countries "benefit from China". And so on. When I removed any reference to my country of origin the answers got fewer and weirder, to the point the sentences made no semantic sense. The profile of those answering were obviously fake and looked different but semantically similar. A few pictures of them with landmarks, private friends list, random interests, everything else private. To the untrained and non-careful mind these can more than convincing.
