Where does Yahoo answers fit into the fake social media army? - Obama Carny - 10-12-2012 11:14 PM
It's recently been revealed that the U.S. government contracted HBGary Federal for the development of software which could create multiple fake social media profiles to manipulate and sway public opinion on controversial issues by promoting propaganda.

Based on the incessant repeating of so many pure propaganda questions I keep seeing, I would say this has been going on at Y!A for a while now.

Hard to tell -
I'm a real person who likes to check out YA and get some laughs.
I do think some of the posters here might be using multiple accounts and trying to manipulate votes for answers, but I don't feel particularly swayed or manipulated.
