So Godi Media has found a place here as well.
Every country is dealing with this issue to some extent, and the same countries may also have state actors running their own fleet of sockpuppet accounts / astroturfing campaigns
Another downside to this (in addition to the sockpuppeting itself) is that populist leaders can accuse legitimate activists, journalists, and criticism as sockpuppeting/astroturfing.
The BJP spread enough fake news without help.
I like how the picture has an American flag on the wall.
