The supply of artifical personae on social media is easily manipulated to be many times larger than the number of actual human beings. Better and better simulation models for social interaction combined with better text generation models will mean that a few officers in any directorate can control neightborhoods, towns, and cities' worth of sentiments. Of course, the boiler room operations in the Phillipines and elsewhere, where a hundred employees drive the behavior of thousands of accounts, may play a role in boosting all tbis. The same boiler rooms may well exist for national purposes as well as commercial purposes. I have a feeling that Gab, Truth Social, Telegram and the like will not be as motivated as the Twitters or Facebooks of the world to even look for this. If so, your political/social leanings will definitely steer the amount of manipulation you receive.
