> pic the irony here is this isn't even some super secret intelligence operation, it's just plutocratic "democracies" at work, which is globalism in a nutshell. there's no compartmentalization, it doesn't matter if these actions come to light because they purport to be acting in good faith and most involved outside of higher roles, wholly-believe they do. this was part of a much larger effort started in late-2010 to tame the internet, by then think tanks were convinced governments couldn't accurately control the flow of information through news networks or simple bots, this led to crowdsourcing for potential "influencers" through the creation of talent agencies like night inc. they knew it was counter-productive to outright bribe people to say something, they needed to believe the disinformation they would be selling by default so they advertised it to draw them in, they tracked who was susceptible and more likely willing to spread it through places like cambridge analytica. this name used to be well-known here on /pol/ but not so much now with the flooding of bots to keep anons distracted.
