      It’s known since 2018 that Bolsonaro’s election campaign used mass spreading of WhatsApp messages with false news and defamatory propaganda against the opposition. While it was suspected the internet robots and propaganda network was still being maintained, it’s the first time evidence about it was unearthed, as far as I know.

        Whatsapp started off a messaging app but has mutated into an absolute blight on society.

          Yeah, it’s Facebook, Inc. after all. I have the same suspicion about Instagram and Facebook itself.

        There’s a lot of suspicion that the “correct the record” campaign, hillary clinton’s rendition of what bolsonaro, never really ended after she lost the election.

        These paid social media accounts likely keep the same employers, they just move to new talking points, and the agencies change names.

          It’s so outrageous that it’s possible to pay agencies that respond to criticism with no particular ideological relationship with who’s paying. It’s just more ways to make money. I love how the US still manages to impress me with a society as morally corrupt as that bourgeois empire.
