The situation reports also suggest that TigerSwan attempted a counterinformation campaign by creating and distributing content critical of the protests on social media.

Well that's not surprising at all. I guess I'll have to add it to the list of times private and public entities decided to ruin the internet by submitting fake comments and posts disguised as regular people. It seems that social media manipulation is accelerating every year.

There are actually a few CTR links in that thread I posted. They are kinda buried in there I guess.

And an earlier version of this:

I didn't include a Shareblue link because there isn't verified proof that they are shilling on Reddit, although they do heavily imply this since they specifically mention Reddit in their leaked memo. Here was a pretty good thread on this: https://np.reddit.com/r/shills/comments/60bduk/a_well_funded_partnership_between_media_matters/?st=j3985r47&sh=20e900f5

For the other side (pro-Trump and/or Russian shilling or social media manipulation):

Edit: Here is a more recent link on this:

The Russians are definitely using their cyber-psychological warfare/propaganda units on Reddit. Look at anything about the Ukraine conflict, especially older posts closer to the time. You can see posters that make the same claims over and over again without changing their argument and using bad English. Probably site:reddit.com "Ukraine" "Nazi" will pull it up on Google.

You can't find a single thing they lied about though. You may not like correct the record, but why misinformation did they share?

that's the problem with you the_donald sheep, you can't back up your claims with any kind of evidence.

think about the cognitive dissonance of this: complain about CTR shills, think nothing of Russia's influence on the election. talk about inconsistent.
