The Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group (JTRIG), a unit in one of
Britain’s intelligence agencies, is tasked with creating sockpuppet
accounts and fake content on social media, in order to use "dirty
tricks" to "destroy, deny, degrade [and] disrupt" enemies by
"discrediting" them. In this talk, we reveal some of that content, in
relation to infiltrating activists groups around the world, including
during the Arab spring and Iranian revolution.
