Do you know who you are speaking to online? Well, according to recent social media research, you may have no idea. Internet trolls pose a much larger threat than annoying you while you watch the latest episode of Jon Tron. Political enemies of western democracies are using troll farms to direct the narrative of the discussions you are having online, at times even deciding what you will be talking about. They do this by hacking into mainframes that then can control thousands of accounts at once. Even major publications like the New York Times have reported on tweets from fake accounts. And it is a very real threat that entire political debased are controlled by authoritarian governments. For example, as of June 2020, many of the Black Lives Matter vs. Blue Lives Matter debates were being commented on by trolls; further, the trolls did not side with one particular argument, but offered extreme arguments from both a liberal and conservative standpoint. Why would they do this? To sew confusion and to create discord. Remember the basic principle of Divide and Conquer; remember how I told you that Propaganda is the war you are already fighting. Some of you do not realize the extent to which this is true. Accounts with thousands of followers and millions of likes have been unmasked as fake accounts, with no human actually behind them. And no, you cannot simply check the profile to make sure the accounts are real anymore. Hackers know what you are looking for. They know that you think a personable picture in the profile and a brief introduction will do the trick. There are too many of these accounts for you to avoid them. Most of the arguments you have had on social media have likely been fueled by them. But you are likely arguing with nothing, with no one. You are screaming at the darkness to become the light, demanding that a shadow show its true colors.
