    Of course the new report being blared across the media to fuel yet another round of panic over Russian memes was produced by a "cybersecurity startup" raising boatloads of VC money to suppress "fake news" on behalf of corporate clients. And the founder is former NSA official.pic.twitter.com/h4WLWDEYrQ

        Note how the firm markets its services. They will help corporate brands "mitigate malign narratives" that spread online. "Malign" is not necessarily the same as "fake," but the clients will be the ultimate arbiters of truth value in this scenario.pic.twitter.com/tFWP2i55VQ

        Do you think producing a major report about Russian trolls on behalf of the Senate will help "New Knowledge" obtain new, lucrative clients, especially those doing business with the government? Yeah, probably. Do you think that will be disclosed anywhere in the media reports...?

        Do you think the founder's background in the federal counter-terrorism apparatus perhaps informs his perspective? Maybe motivates him to help the United States "brand" root out "malign narratives"? Seems likely. But sure, it's an independent report, so everybody freak out (again)pic.twitter.com/70vEbtnem3

        Shocking how the solution is always to rely on someone else to determine what’s real or fake vs teaching people how to properly validate the information they consume.

        Man, I missed the boat on this one. I'm studying cybersecurity in school now. I could be rolling in the dough if I could leverage that degree and sell my integrity.

        Doesn't it worry you at all that our president has spoken to Putin MULTIPLE times with no one else in the room? Doesn't seem shady to you, like, at all?

        Saying former NSA official is like saying former commissioned officer or former CIA official. Really no such thing for the most part, once in you never actually leave.

        It's remarkable the lengths you're willing to go to deny any hint that you're wrong about this subject. Like Trump, your only response seems to be double down and go full speed ahead.

        So. If activists target a big oil company for polluting and hiding data, this firm would rat out their “malign” activities? Got it.
