Companies astroturffing bad news is the rule on every aspect of their business, not just sec fillings. An example: down here in Brazil, and pretty much in all of Latin America, CocaCola changed their formula on the classic Coke, reducing the ammount of sugar and mixing it with artificial sweeteners. They started rolling out this change mid 2021, and for someone that absolutely hates the after taste of artificial sweeteners like me, it was an obvious change. I haven't had a Coke since, to me it's dead. But anyways, if you try to find any mention about the change in the formulation of CocaCola on the brazilian version of Google, you only find articles about the new "Zero Sugar Coke" formula, and no news AT ALL about the change to the original Coke. Even in Facebook and Twitter, any search for "coke changed formula" always retrieves posts about the new formula of Coke Zero on the first results. These companies have gaslighting departments, that's part of being a corporation in 2023.
