Computational Propaganda
«Since 2016, the digital battlefield has become more sophisticated and widespread across the globe. False information about major events from the Covid-19 outbreak to the 2020 US election is jeopardizing public health and safety. Here we dig into how modern warfare is being waged on the internet, and the steps being taken to stop it.»

Computational propaganda:
«AI and machine learning technologies enable computational propaganda bots to tailor their campaigns in real-time and spread with virus-like scale. Essentially, these bots identify and exploit people who are computationally pre-determined to be the most vulnerable to digital psychological manipulation. Political propagandists, such as the infamous firm Cambridge Analytica, exploit traits in people that signal their level of susceptibility to different psychological manipulations. Examples of such traits are detailed in leaked emails from the firm. Traits include allegiance to a political party, stances on hot-button issues such as gun-control, and even if a person is neurotic, suspicious of others, or believes in astrological signs.»

'Marking own homework' is process paradigm used to sign off high carbon road schemes as having "Minor" climate impact.  My legal cases go to the heart of this and challenge it, pls support herehttps://www.crowdjustice.com/case/stop-road-building-wrecking-climate-nature/

Facebook could stop 10B impressions from “repeat misinformers”, but doesn't

Thanks but I’d rather decide what’s misinformation for myself.

@AbbieNormal "Computational Propaganda" is another term of art.
