  > Both posts linked above were made with full identity disclosure. Well that's why I said those posts are a bad example. I'm talking about those who pose as something they're not funded to do so, covertly. So lets say, if you had someone from a foreign country with an ID Check claim to be something they're not (you could even publicly display their country), would make all of those efforts a bit more transparent. Or for example, with group of Youtubers known to promote propaganda, now we know they were paid to do so by a foreign country. Now you can completely dismiss them, and with an easy reminder, you can put their credibility in check. > Does this awareness make manipulation less effective? I think so, the best thing you can do is inform people. Of course, this should be done collectively, or else it would be targeted for conspiracy theories.
