What use does the US military have
for online social networks like Facebook
and Twitter ? That’s “classified,” a
CENTCOM spokesman recently informed
Raw Story.
One use that’s confirmed, however, is
the manipulation of social media through
the use of fake online “personas” managed
by the military. Raw Story recently reported
that the US Air Force had solicited private
sector vendors for something called “persona
management software.” Such a technology
would allow single individuals to command
virtual armies of fake, digital “people” across
numerous social media portals. They even
worked out ways to game geolocating services,
so these “personas” could be virtually inserted
anywhere in the world, providing ostensibly
live commentary on real events, even while
the operator was not really present.
