There's people that aren't familiar with how different groups are seeking to influence the public opinion online so this is some interesting info coming from the BBC.

It's an article talking about the way the communist party of Vietnam uses shills to influence the public opinion for their own sake.

At least Vietnam admits it, while most governments will deny it.
