If you have no qualms about pretending to be a sexual assault survivor, trauma counselor, and/or a Black man opposed to Black Lives Matter, you meet the dictionary definition of a sociopath.
Emphasis mine:
A team of researchers who say they are from the University of Zurich ran an “unauthorized,” large-scale experiment […]

There are some folks from St. Petersburg who are about 20 years ahead of these guys.
Also, previously.
There’s no star. There’s a plus, but no star.
Sure. Every country of nontrivial size likely has propaganda apparatuses. It’s more a matter of (1) scale, (2) purpose, (3) efficacy, and (4) to what extent they face externally vs internally. I think US psyop is proportional with the rest of its military-industrial complex, which is as large as the next nine or ten largest militaries combined. It’s laughable that Russian psyop has moved the needle much with the US electorate, never mind swung an election for Trump. The US is just a weak, vulnerable smol bean country whose military-industrial complex invented the internet.

Not really. Not what I was talking about, but also, not really. All it would take is a couple hundred computers and access to malleable people. Most governments could manage the first, and Twitter and Facebook tend to consolidate the second. I’d say just about any country that isn’t considered third-world could move a large portion of the American populace if they wanted.
