This reminds me of what I saw from the Snowden leaks about HUMINT psyops: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;theintercept.com&#x2F;2014&#x2F;02&#x2F;24&#x2F;jtrig-manipulation&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;theintercept.com&#x2F;2014&#x2F;02&#x2F;24&#x2F;jtrig-manipulation&#x2F;</a> and it doesn&#x27;t surprise me that this is being used by election candidates.<p>Realistically, if they are willing to buy Facebook likes and twitter followers, what else are they willing to do to persuade public opinion to their liking? Companies also engage in a form of this guerrilla propaganda.<p>You are correct, it is very worrying.
