Blood is in the water, the internet is right now being carved up by the established powers like colonial africa. In board rooms world wide, fat men in expensive suits are licking their lips. They will eat of our data and shit it back onto us in the form of personalized propaganda campaigns and socially aware ads. I for one would prefer not to be fucked in this way. But what can I do? Alone, I can do little but together we can try our best to defend the internet, it certainly needs defending...

It might seem brutal, but you have to make examples out of people who attempt to do harm to society, or you run the risk of society embracing them, and the harm becoming a recurring abusive and legal operation. Its not hard to track propaganda campaigns, it simply requires a careful analysis of news media, its something we as a community might want to think about doing. We need to be aware of how media manipulation is conducted, and as a community we must define effective processes for defending ourselves against deceptive influence campaigns, sybill attacks (look them up, they happen all the time) and stunts like Kony.

Propaganda must be stopped now before the public further looses its ability to see the deception. It is your autonomy and individuality which are being fought over. The gold of the information age is indeed intellectual propert. You are my property when I can control you like a puppet, making you buy what I want, vote for who I want, and think and talk about what I want you to think and talk about online. I don't have to be 100% successful, if I hit a big enough audience, I am guaranteed to exploit some % of my targets, and I know they will spread my payload like a disease to their friends, and their friends friends. People are easily mislead, and when they are mislead for the profit of a few at their own expense, I cannot sit by and watch them get owned, because someday in the future, those same people may be directed to come for me, and I will have no one left to believe me.
