Misinformation sniffers have been unleashed.

New measures and techniques are being used to root out online misinformation.

Article from RAND.

“ Our study found that online communities are increasingly being exposed to junk news, cyber bullying activity, terrorist propaganda, and political reputation boosting or smearing campaigns. These activities are undertaken by synthetic accounts and human users, including online trolls, political leaders, crane_op, far-left or far-right individuals, national adversaries and extremist groups. In support of government efforts to detect and counter these activities, the research team successfully developed and applied a machine learning model in a Russian troll database to identify differences between authentic political supporters and Russian trolls shaping online debates regarding the 2016 US presidential election. To trial the model's portability, a promising next step could be to test the model in a new context such as the online Brexit debate.”

I gotta ask.... what happens when it doesn't have the effect you think it does? It's my belief these bot accounts are just as as left as much as right..... the goal is to divide and hustle further entrench a person's political bias and they have and are working quite well. They even have a who news industry claiming to be on the right side of it not understanding they are just as much a victim as the voters.
