An anti-Trump Democratic-aligned political action committee advised by retired Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal is planning to deploy an information warfare tool that reportedly received initial funding from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (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.
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.”
Social media guru Curtis Hougland is heading up Defeat Disinfo, and he said he received the funding from DARPA when his work was “part of an effort to combat extremism overseas.” MORE

If the taxpayer is paying for this, (and we are) then congress better put a stop to it.
Sounds like a plan. Maybe they can put this on trading cards for 5 yr oles.
If you don’t write and call your Congress and Senate critters abut this you are part of the problem.
Zonga, I’m in Michigan, my reps are part of the problem. But the voting is corrupt and we are going to have a hard time digging out of this mess.
5th generation warfare is non kinetic for the most part, but eventually they will kill all their enemies if we let them. They’re moving forward trying not to create any inflection points which would rally Americans.
Don’t they keep factholes out of soup kitchens doing that?
Why would the House and Senate stop what the House and Senate are doing?
“part of an effort to combat extremism overseas.”
Overseas………riiiiight……..
