Snowden's data, however, does not describe a troll-farm to influence public political opinion in another country, like, say, Russia did when promoting Brexit on the English internet. It is very likely they do this though. But they seem

There is misdirection for content-boosting. Twitter has put some features in place to make this more involved, such as asking you to read an article before retweeting it, or making the follower- and like-count inexact. Basically they just s

State-linked information-warfare offense and defense is part of the US military. US analysts should have more information than even Twitter has. When they find an enemy operation, they could tip of Twitter and let them discover, remove, and

You are not my audience. I consider you a lost cause after you calling me a neonazi troll. It is time the general public sees this evil inhumane activism without being obscured by anti-racism or anti-fascism. When the general public sees yo

Good to highlight this. I became aware of the evils of the "alt-right" when they started trolling suicide memorial pages. This is a similar attack coming from the polar side of the political spectrum. You cannot claim the moral hi

Of all things, I am sure that this discussion thread did not add value to this community conversation, and as such, serves as spam. Apologies, and let's hope Google bot finds ways to ignore low-information content in a threaded forum.

These sites are easily detected as clones. How Google reacts is part of the adversarial game theory. For StackExchange clones, their tactic seems to be to push them to a secondary index. Hellban them, but keep them visible to the creators.

They asked for searching tips, not how to solve the problem of internet search. I have a few ideas for that too though. Agreed on the miserable experience. Do you have any ideas on how to attack this? Perhaps Google started out with the rig

Yeah, after you reading that article, I totally agree. It might also be fitting to describe NN Taleb. The only one it does not fit, I think, would be Edward Snowden, the last cultural bastion of free speech and human rights protection.
