"Facebook accused people linked to the French military on Tuesday of running a covert online influence operation targeting parts of Africa. It is the first time Facebook has publicly linked a campaign like this to individuals connected to a Western military.
The deceptive tactics allegedly used, which include using Facebook to pose as locals in the targeted countries, mirror misinformation campaigns run by the Russian government.

According to Facebook, the operations targeted the "Central African Republic and Mali, and to a lesser extent Niger, Burkina Faso, Algeria, Cote d'Ivoire and Chad."

Facebook removed the accounts and also announced on Tuesday that it had removed accounts, also posing as Africans, that were linked to Russian troll group.
In some cases, Facebook said, the fake French and Russian accounts even interacted with each other."

Misinformation and disinformation are as deadly as any modern day weaponry. It's a bit scary that the likes of FB are left to do all or at least most of the policing. Will they always be unbiased?

Very likely. The political elites will stop at nothing until they achieve their objectives. Very evil people who will even spread hate campaigns to ignite killings between brothers.

Consultants are not going anywhere soon or ever, my friend. Only their names will change and with technology they will become ever more efficient. It is the journey to the zombified society foreseen by George Orwell (Nineteen Eighty Four).

The tragedy is that even people who have gone to school will seize the mantra and be the conveyors of the hate campaigns...they are already doing it.

By the way propagandists have existed since the beginning of time. Even in our social lives.

Very enlightening.
Jana after this https://kenyanlist.net/index.php?threads/inside-the-crazy-sex-cult-that-invaded-oregon.14227/ I was asking myself what would make level headed people some highly educated and revered in their fields to fall for a cult and it so happens, the human psyche is ironically very simple as it is complex.

No wonder whenever I am wearing an Arsenal jersey, I am inclined to acknowledge a stranger on the street in similar attire.

When it comes to politics and religion, such knowledge can and has been used to great effect in controlling the masses for sure...

The desire for fulfilment of belonging needs...
Fear of missing out (FOMO)...
Even takes away their rationality making them doublethinkers.

The world is a messed up place, first it was the colonialists, now they hold hands with our own people to totally destroy our countries.

Not just Africa, the manipulators are driving the whole world. They coin the toxic slogans ...
