"CENTCOM's contract requires for each controller the provision of one "virtual private server" located in the United States and others appearing to be outside the US to give the impression the fake personas are real people located in different parts of the world."
.
It also calls for "traffic mixing", blending the persona controllers' internet usage with the usage of people outside CENTCOM in a manner that must offer "excellent cover and powerful deniability".
.
“The CENTCOM contract stipulates that each fake online persona must have a convincing background, history and supporting details.”
.
… “the software could allow US service personnel, working around the clock in one location, to respond to emerging online conversations with any number of co-ordinated messages, blogposts, chatroom posts and other interventions.”
