With the news that a pro-Clinton SuperPAC has invested millions
in paying for online shills to go around infiltrating anti-Clinton
conversations and attempt to misinform and sway opinions anonymously, a
discussion on Reddit prompted individuals who have been a part of these
shilling campaigns to speak out, sharing how effective and calculated
this sort of online infiltration is.
One such user posted anonymously,
but then shortly after deleted their comment, no doubt in fear that
his/her former employer would see and punish the person for their
valuable insight.
The Reddit user said that they were a former employee of a PR firm
who defended fracking online. What follows is an eye-opening description
of what the fracking industry is willing to do to remove scrutiny and
criticism of the industry. Without doubt, this is done by the oil and
gas industry nationwide as well as the drug and tobacco industry and any
other industry which receives a healthy amount of scrutiny online.
