Spy Agencies Manipulate and Disrupt Web Discussions to Promote Propaganda and Discredit Government Critics | Global Research

The alternative media has documented for 5 years that the government uses disinformation and disruption  (and here) on the web to discredit activists and manipulate public opinion, just like it smears traditional television and print reporters who question the government too acutely.

We’ve long reported that the government censors and manipulates social media. More proof here.

New Edward Snowden documents confirm that Britain’s spy agency is doing so.

As Glenn Greenwald writes today:

One of the many pressing stories that remains to be told from the Snowden archive is how western
intelligence agencies are attempting to manipulate and control online
discourse with extreme tactics of deception and reputation-destruction.
