Revealed: US spy operation that manipulates social media (2011)
- mrschwabe 13y ago"The US military is developing software that will let it secretly manipulate social media sites by using fake online personas to influence internet conversations and spread pro-American propaganda." Anyone reading HN should be aware of this program before accepting comments at face-value. Especially in light of the recent NSA/PRISM leaks. Unfortunately this is the reality of today; and some of the discussions here may be subject to "Operation Earnest Voice" or similar operations.
