Revealed: US spy operation that manipulates social media Military's 'sock puppet' software creates fake online identities to spread pro-American propaganda
Once Upon A Time it was said that "Man Bites Dog" was news. In the same vein, is the story linked and headlined above truly news (implying unusual or new) when such activities have been happening for some time now? In fact, don't we all know (and love?) someone who is doing this RIGHT NOW?!? I mean, come on! Seriously? Really? (And the other 'current' terms used by people in society to express incredulity and sarcasm...) Here's the link if you either don't like to click hyperlinked headlines or it is a borken lnik. http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2011/mar/17/us-spy-operation-social-networks/print
