Idk man, if you let the board pick their guy, Facebook would likely be something even more monstrous.

Knew that long ago. You called it conspiracy theory back then.

I agree, or it could be them trying to find out how to deal with these botnets in such a blundering way they lose all credibility for a decade. What a stupid fucking idea either way. The DoD isn’t going to be winning themselves any benefits greater than what they’ll lose when this inevitably gets leaked.

Sounds more like a small scale experiment to determine the influence on public opinion or smth. 60 Accounts and a couple of webpages with low activity is something a single person could manage.

Funny how all these old articles just pop out of the woodwork as if this is new news. Soon as some anti military sentiment is popular here come the recycling of old articles for clicks and karma.

Do you REALLY think FB found all of their accounts?

It’s the fucking boys. The same boys who convinced you to buy a big gulp and support the Iraq war for freedom.

Weird. I distinctly remember going to huge protests and the general public being split before the invasion, and then staunchly against it afterwards.

I don’t think you understand how botnets work. They generate engagement and activity for their posts by engaging with their peer bots in order to get into algorithms. Definitionally when you get a network you expose the whole one. So these bots interacting on such a small scale indicates they were testing something rather than actually deploying it as a mass campaign.

The Iraq war was popular because the public and media were out for blood and the government made a convenient lie lol. Not because the CIA got into your internet chat rooms.
