Unfortunately, they are not. Look at Arab Spring, the trigger was the Intenet and very specific kind of audinece. I personally made an effort and found a job of a "paid troll" (minimum wage only studens would agree to work for, but my interest was different). It was about a year ago, when the shit hit the fan over here. Trolls works in brigades (so called "звездочки", lit. "small stars"), all information goes through brigadier so we never knew the boss and most of the time other members of the brigade as well. We got lists of "key points to make" along with some advices on how exactly perform (like tone, common phrases etc.). We wait before the D day, i.e. when the info-cause rolls in MSM (could be anything, like "looky-looky what expensive wristwatch Patriarch wears" etc., usually it's a series of similary themed info-causes to talk shit about, this one was about ROC). Then register (or receive prepared accounts with some history to cover it a little bit) and post, post, post. Most are lazy though, you could easily find out who is who by googling it, they just repost same bullshit over and over. Depending on clicks and views we got paid, I was "fired" in a week though due to "low performance" :D So the problem really is not in the "truth being hidden", but people, the target audience. |
Which side were you trolling for? For the Arab Spring (the whole collection of different revolutions) or against it?
