The good guys are known to use much more in-depth techniques than that, see: https://firstlook.org/theintercept/2014/02/24/jtrig-manipulation/ https://firstlook.org/theintercept/2014/02/24/jtrig-manipula... especially: https://prod01-cdn02.cdn.firstlook.org/wp-uploads/sites/1/2014/02/deception_p12.png https://prod01-cdn02.cdn.firstlook.org/wp-uploads/sites/1/20... Based on the state of that powerpoint slide they're probably achieving fuck-all in practice.
