U.S. Military using fake social media accounts.



These are referred to as Psy-Ops and are nothing new. This shit has been going on in various guises and mediums since .... forever! What do you think the fucking television and MSM are for?
 
Who do you think makes up the majority of comments on MSM news articles, etc? Certainly not regular citizens. Pretty obvious to me.

Just look at the comments on a yahoo news article. A bunch of fake bullshit.
 
pretty sure investment firms also employ social media "experts" who create fake users and flood the comment sections of sites like marketwatch and zerohedge with bullshit propaganda. sometimes the fake users will even argue with each other making the whole thing seem more legit. i believe the whole is to create cognitive dissonance amongst readers. to throw the real issue into disarray. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_dissonance
 
They've been all over IMDB for a few years now tricking people into paying to see shitty movies.
