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.

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.

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.

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.
