Social media > inauthentic accounts to manipulate narratives

Quote from Video

And then there's a bunch of people that are commenting that aren't even real people. There's a lot of manipulation that's going on on social media where who knows who's doing it. They're not real human beings that are saying these things and they can kind of shift a narrative into a certain direction sometimes.
