     This is not the correct definition of "trolling". Trolling is a form
     of online pranking; it is starting arguments, derailing
     conversations, and making people angry for the troll's own
     amusement. What is simulated in that little game is more like paid
     political provocation, which is done for money or politics, but not
     for the person's own amusement.

     There is nothing inherently wrong with the game itself, but they
     should change the name from "Troll Factory" to something else, and
     remove all references to "trolling" if they want to keep from
     looking like ignorant dolts.

     We have here at Yle developed an online game Troll Factory that
     turns people into professional online trolls in order to help them
     learn about information wars. You can play the game here:
