I had a Facebook post go viral when I talked about the importance of Net Neutrality, and how they would eventually break the internet down into glorified cable tv. I got around 200 friend requests from legit-looking people... real profile photos, locations, some minor history of posting things, etc... but when you looked closely at each of these accounts, you realized they were fakes. I still have that list. Most of those accounts still exist. I'm pretty sure that the bot-farm that operates these real-looking accounts are just waiting for the next customer to come along and pay the bot-owner to promote specific content amongst legit-looking accounts. Not sure what to do with this info. But maybe someday Glenn Greenwald could make use of it...
