Making Enemies And Negatively Influencing People: Government Troll Edition
"If we are going to have a free and open society, then we simply cannot have the governments of the western world running around systematically manipulating the Internet for their own purposes. And of course it is not just the British that are doing this kind of thing. Just recently, for example, the U.S. was caught manipulating discourse on Reddit and editing Wikipedia.
