      A letter-writing campaign is nothing like what’s happening now. We’re talking real-time, minute-by-minute, war-room-style attacks, moving from Facebook page to Yelp reviews to Google reviews to DOS attacks, in response to whatever defense the provider or practice mounts.

      It wasn't just letter writing. It was phone calls, posting fake reviews on doctor review sites, intentionally poisoning my Google reputation, etc. Sure, it wasn't nearly as sophisticated as it is now, but the outlines were definitely there.

      Absolutely. The outlines, and elements, were all there. And sadly time-tested. But again: these attacks are occurring faster, and more nimbly, than ever before. They’re now unleashed in breadth, and speed, and volume unseen until the past year and a half.

      So basically what you're talking about is nothing radically new, just an evolution of what was developed before.

      Yep. And the international access and coordination make the attacks Global 24/7 with the ability in real-time to redirect effort(s). Weaponized Social Media provides: - access to 100,000’s+ allies - amplification by foreign entities - multi-platform avenues ... and more

      Let’s develop Reputation Rescue Social Media, a coalition of #EvidenceBased #Research-informed healthcare providers, researchers, & anyone interested in preventing the next pandemic. If one of us is attacked online by hate groups, the rest swarm in w science & support. #SoMeDocs

      I emailed my willingness to help. As of today, nearly three weeks later, no one has responded.

      Our ‘Go Live’ goal is by the end of this month. We’re actively vetting applicants. 3 staff are working on project (on our dime) knocking out the kinks (mostly complete). We appreciate your patience and ask the same of all ‘ShotsHeard’ applicants. Notifications coming next week.

      Emailed you as well. I just read about your study on the troll attack. You also rediscovered crank magnetism! A very consisten and replicable behavior of the conspiratorial. https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Crank_magnetism …

      Yup. Mark and I were blogging about this very phenomenon a decade ago, although I have to give Mark the credit for coining the term "crank magnetism.😏
