An interesting tweet, this:
Yeah, its a
parody site . But there's an interesting point made here. Assume you have, like Russia does, a
troll army that acts in the Russian national interest by, for example, getting clowns like Donald Trump elected. Suppose that assignment is over (successfully concluded), and the next one is to
disrupt the German election and get Angela Merkel booted in favor of some far right alternative. What's the quickest way? Well, you just use the 1,000's of twitter accounts you've already created to redirect their bile at the German Chancellor. Better than starting from scratch. But though these accounts are hard to distinguish from the
genuinely useful idiots, if people are paying attention, they will see. And that gives the game away. So a sloppy bit of dark ops on the part of the Russkies, perhaps.
