Instagram influencers are creating fake cease-and-desist letters, making themselves go viral and muddying the waters about mass surveillance.

How embarrassing that this is what people are doing to create viral content.

      good hunch. What makes controlled opposition effective is precisely the smokescreen it creates. Because its very plausible this is constructed, and unfortunately just as plausible that it’s just social media brainworms… Casting doubt on every part of the equation.

      we in a simulation… not that you are wrong about things but just askew. Like everyone. It is just all shaddows dancing on the walls. A unholy puppet show. Edward Bernays butt baby.

    Reminds me of DNC funded leftist breadtubers. A whole arse sea of dildos to employ on both sides to farm outrage. Some got a whole team of marketurds. We in the matrix. Really it is an attempt to co opt the conversation to deflate the real opposition so they can ram it through. Both parties want this.

      I, uh, definitely would have worded this with more care, but if anyone believes their side is somehow immune to corporate interests funding or manipulating drama and outrage? It’s dumb to think that the rich sociopaths would uniquely mess with one political side while leaving another completely alone.

      Nothing to do with any side being right, wrong, better, or worse. Everything to do with rish assholes being rich assholes.
