Psy-op: military actions designed to influence the perceptions and attitudes of individuals, groups, and foreign governments.
Make makes uou think there aren’t Lemmy users secretly pushing an agenda.
What does this have to do with it?
US and Israeli intelligence probably has accounts justifying the actions of IDF
Yep.
Russia probably has accounts to try to blame Ukraine or “The West” for their “Special Operation”
Yep.
China probably has accounts trying to make their country seem very egalitarian and socialist, when its in fact far from reality
They do. I’d count it as a psy-op since it is state sponsored.
Corporations are probably trying to covertly sway people away from celebrsting the CEO’s death by saying “All Killings Is Bad”
They definitely are. This may qualify as a psy-op depending on how much you consider these companies and the state intertwined.
Induvidual users might also have their own agendas to push
Not a psy-op. That’s self-expression.
Every thing on the internet is a “PsyOp”
Nope. Wrong. For example my reply isn’t a psy-op. It’s just one person, me, trying to keep language from being watered down.
I was banned once. I had no idea why. I appealed. Denied. I asked if I could at least know which post got me banned. Nope. That didn’t make me leave. It should have. :( Luckily killing RiF did.
