I think we gotta keep a record of the people who try to manipulate content online. This is a good case about the US government seeking to manipulate public opinion.

It's an article from The Guardian talking about the way the US government sought to create fake Internet personas using agents in order to spread pro-government propaganda online. It's a good background about the government trying to manipulate news on social media and how shills are used.
