The US government is offering private intelligence companies contracts to create software to manage "fake people" on social media sites and create the illusion of consensus on controversial issues.
The contract calls for the development of "Persona Management Software" which would help the user create and manage a variety of distinct fake profiles online. The job listing was discussed in recently leaked emails from the private security firm HBGary after an attack by internet activist last week.

Interesting...in checking this claim, and calling up the Air Mobility Command's contract solicitations (simple search feature on the site), RTB220610 returns no results; "Online Persona Management Service" returns no results. As it is nearly midnight, I am not going to call the 6th Command and am awaiting an Email response from the POC, listed: on Mr. Beasley. If this report is true, then we can discuss the implications.
