A very bite-sized report.<p>If it was authored in the US, it would lose credibility due to the current administration. Am I correct in that assessment?<p>I didn't knew back then, but it's obvious now in hindsight that swarm-like behavior and sleeper accounts existed at least far back to 2010, probably earlier.<p>So, agencies must have a more comprehensive map of those themes, how they can turn and how they were used and by whom.<p>It all ends up in the narratives used by regular people, so it would make sense to treat _all_ of these highly turnable discussion points that can go one way or the other into manifestations of a psychogenic epidemy. Mass induced hysteria. You can find it in western teaditional media too, it's just not labeled as Codename-123. Maybe we should label it as Skynet. It fits.<p>Any contribution to these highly polarized themes only boosts the swarm, which can in fact turn either way of the political spectrum. However, as it grows, it becomes less controllable.<p>Let's do the other thing. Inform people what is happening, let them know of these issues.<p>TL;DR you can't turn off their swarm without turning off yours. They're connected.
