I used to work in organic growth and it's crazy what you could do in astroturf or brand growth as just a normal person. To think that governments that cannot be challenged would restrain themselves from using this weapon is sadly too optimistic.
The reason why EU and US arent so blatant because they can't just start a troll farm with publics approval.
Why would the U.S. need public approval for a troll farm? That shit is highly classified. If you think the U.S. doesn't do the same thing we accuse Russia and China of doing, I gotta bridge to sell you.
You can't really hide thousands of employees under some maticsl "classified" seal.
Yeah you can, they do it all the time.
Nope
How did we build the atomic bomb then if we're so bad at keeping secrets? They literally thought it might ignite the entire atmosphere on fire. You think the public would have approved of that? You're gullible as fuck if you think the government doesn't hide this shit from us.
Ah yes because a 2025 troll farm for spamming internet with low effort propaganda is the same as 1940s secret atomic weapons program.
My god, you really are ignorant. I hope you're just a troll. Either way, im done here. This isnt a productive conversation anymore (if it ever was).
Ok bye bye
So does Groom Lake have public approval?.
What does area 51 have to do with internet propaganda? Go away troll
Doesn't reddit use heavily correspond to US military bases?
Why would it correspond to military bases? They can pay their people to shit post and host bots from home.
Cus with the military you already have a readymade pool of labor to work from, with basicaly zero democratic civilian oversight. Plus, a lot of them live on base.
