Why? if you are going to employ a major PsyOP using advanced AI tech against one candidate and not act evenly, fairly, by employing that massively powerful weapon across the whole of the political spectrum, you are acting in a way to betray every OATH ever taken.

I think participants should end up court shortly.

BUT,, Is the process of collecting data and creating negative political actionable items and then paying others to propagate the message illegal??

An anti-Trump Democratic-aligned political action committee advised by retired Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal is planning to deploy an information warfare tool that received initial funding from DARPA, the Pentagon’s secretive research arm -- transforming technology originally envisioned as a way to fight ISIS propaganda into a campaign platform to benefit Joe Biden.

Social media guru Curtis Hougland is heading up Defeat Disinfo, and he received the funding from DARPA when his program was "part of an effort to combat extremism overseas." He explained in an interview with the Post that he was unhappy that top social media accounts often supported Trump, and had effectively defended the president in recent days from claims that he had suggested Americans inject themselves with disinfectant.

The Washington Post first reported that the initiative, called Defeat Disinfo, will utilize "artificial intelligence and network analysis to map discussion of the president’s claims on social media," and then attempt to "intervene" by "identifying the most popular counter-narratives and boosting them through a network of more than 3.4 million influencers across the country — in some cases paying users with large followings to take sides against the president."

Why is this not totally illegal, and people not in jail for just the thought of undermining the Democratic process???

Infriggincredible...what have we become...

From the article cited in OP.

“The Washington Post first reported that the initiative, called Defeat Disinfo, will utilize "artificial intelligence and network analysis to map discussion of the president’s claims on social media," and then attempt to "intervene" by "identifying the most popular counter-narratives and boosting them through a network of more than 3.4 million influencers across the country — in some cases paying users with large followings to take sides against the president."

I'm always fascinated when people act surprised at the antics of retired flag officers like him.

So, an active duty GO does a lot of PT - don't sleep much - doesn't eat cake - and skyrockets to prominence on the backs of their troops.
...must be a conservative republican

Does anyone actually pay attention to the things of substance that these guys SAY and DO when they are on active duty?
If so, why all the hero worship followed by shock and surprise when a news article uts" them for who they really are ??

That is the thing that always boggles me on these boards is when an Officer someone here knows becomes a GO they tout him as different a "good dude". The "good dude" has negative conotations IMO....So no they are not different they share the same compromised character as they all do

Trump whamboozled 'em previously through his use of social media, particularly Twitter. This is an attempt at counter-marketing. The problem could be with the attention span of the average Twit. They are much less likely to actually notice that something has been purposely spoon-fed to them because they'll see the attention getting message, and not the stuff in the header of the feed that says what it is & where it's coming from. Same as the small-print at the bottom of a 15-sec TV ad.

That the tech was originally developed with help from a DARPA grant doesn't keep it later from being usable by the owner. (People should maybe get in an uproar about the billions per year the CDC wasn't spending on their core mission.)

Both campaigns, and those that work on their behalf, are going to have to craft their stuff pretty carefully while simultaneously hoping their candidate doesn't step in it by opening their mouth at the wrong time. Lambasting incumbent vs. cognitively-challenged challenger.

And the self-absorbed "I'm the smartest guy in the room" ex-GO associated with it will get his payoff either way.

This Curtis Hougland who is mentioned started a company in 2016 named Main Street One .

Main Street One's home page notes their purpose is "repairs harmful narratives and advances positive ones on behalf of causes, campaigns, and companies. Our intelligence system tracks opportunities to shift public discourse and then outputs messages and content to change the outcome."

Main Street One ran an OP during the 2020 Super Bowl named #MuteTrump! where participants were compensated.

From Vanity Fair:

In previous years Hougland had received funding from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the Pentagon’s research unit for emerging technologies, to assist in the propaganda fight against ISIS, which had developed a small but sophisticated content machine that exploited social networks to amplify its vision. It was low cost and powerful: just 5% of identified ISIS members were making 80% of its online content spreading around the world.

Box is spot-on. this guy is a BIG lib. I worked with him in IZ. I remember him standing in the middle of the JOC - in PT clothes - surrounded by operators wearing....PT clothes, screaming about how he didn't want to see any more PT clothes in the JOC. This was almost immediately after he went downrange and "assumed" control over what another entity had been running.

he is on record as saying only the police and Military should have guns.

The guy is a nutter.

Penn,

Looks like they “quickly” did a cut and paste to the original.

You are correct, this guy is a treasonous bastard.

The BIG item is the slapdown from DARPA.

If they get DARPA really pissed I wonder what the outcome would be. We can probably surmise that they will keep it very quiet.

"Only the Police & Military should have Guns" Well, Stanley, Suppose they are not your police & your military ? What are you going to do; When they come for you?

I never read that part in the Constitution. I must have missed that day and never made up the work. I guess he and I swore an oath to defend a *different* constitution than he did.
