There is no proof of these CNN propaganda pieces. Notice its only them cited as the sources.
Poké<em></em>mon Go Is a Government Surveillance Psyop Conspiracy
Plus who still uses Pokemon Go like that anymore?
Propaganda for who or what exactly? And i think it's still popular, but the idea was dumb so I'm assuming thats why it didn't work.
They leaked the story about this, but the Russian troll farm story was uncovered way before this and the stories about them creating fake Facebook groups, fake Reddit accounts, Twitter bots and other things have been broken by several different news sources with no connection to CNN.
That part is undeniably true. Facebook themselves admitted to the ads and sourced it to Russia and even published a white paper about the service was used to spread propaganda about the elections here and in France.
About pokemon go being a psyops thing, why would the company tell people to just stop using the AR feature if they believe it? Defeats the purpose. Why even include it? But that's whole thing is besides the point
All of this was Russia's goal and it's gonna be incredibly hard to build up from this. especially as more and more news comes out. we already found out that they hacked election services but we don't know the true extent yet or what they can do since Obama made that threat to Putin if they were to alter votes or anything like that.
