/r/sockpuppetry
This is a place to discuss the (global) epidemic of fake people posting on blogs to "shift the Overton window" on key issues, usually but not always to the right, and how they poison online communities and democracy. We also encourage discussion of other issues relating to both overt and network level manipulation of online communities and interactions.
Lets discuss the (global) epidemic of fake people (personas) posting on blogs to "shift the Overton window" on key issues, and how they poison online communities and democracy.
This includes entities that seem to be trying to sway the public on any and all issues of importance (example, health care policy in the US and EU) the fake Libertarians, and even now, governments.
We also hope to discuss attempts to disrupt on-line communities by means of rewriting HTTP and HTTPS requests on the fly, as well as developments in this area around the world.
