The US government is offering private intelligence companies contracts to create software to manage "fake people" on social media sites and create the illusion of consensus on controversial issues.
The contract calls for the development of "Persona Management Software" which would help the user create and manage a variety of distinct fake profiles online. The job listing was discussed in recently leaked emails from the private security firm HBGary after an attack by internet activist last week.
I'm on the fence on this one. I've seen plenty of bots on line so it's not too out there the gumminup might use them too. On the other hand getting causght at it would make them look like 419ers.

It's already been going on for a couple of years now. But up till now they've been just using real people with several different fake personae. I guess a lot of dudes will be out of a job when they get the real genuine fake people up and running.

This is just the nonsense that the US government wants us to believe!

I think it is a load of rubbish, brought up by someone with nothing better to do, who is most likely a conspiracy theorist, a new world order theorist, and any other nerdy theorist. Too much time in front of a computer can drive you mad. Get out people, get a life away from the computer, get into the real world, socialise like people used to do, walk in the park, take up a hobby, don't fall prey to all this rubbish.
