Are multiple trolls/ cfs currently REALLY active or are there seriously individuals that believe what they’re told via the internet

[Wills]

So seriously. Has the internet helped? It’s a massive yes from me, but how do we temper these advantages with those that believe in anything ‘written’ down. This includes my 80+ mum, a supposedly ‘intelligent’ woman, who (v low level) inspired many during the 60s. I really despair at how the internet, as well as enabling freedom of info has been countered by radicalised individuals that have an almost religious zeal to spread crap. So since a certain person’s outing as a shit human being have there been more trolls than normal that MN HQ is struggling to police?

there is a certain thread approaching its maximum contributions. There are a couple of individuals who stand out! How can we and MN determine if they are individuals who have researched the area of conflict (seriously unlikely given their comments) or trolls ( so are they having a massive laugh at our interaction). Or are these individuals seriously misguided individuals in which case.
Is it right that individuals have tried to counter their arguments and show them that pure science is the way? Ive watched my mum get so confused by online information. Agreed she grew up in a world where spreading false info was litigious, but the internet doesn’t have the same controls. Equally it’s been fascinating watching the debate over RB. So many passionate individuals making extremely obvious arguments as to why the man is a low life. Yet there are couple of individuals who consistently fight back despite the evidence.Are these individuals low life trolls? Are we wasting our time to their enjoyment? But if not then what is the solution?

discuss please

But if not then what is the solution?

Well clearly you should be ruler of the internet with the power to eradicate the online presence of anyone who has a different opinion to you.

Do you realise how you’re coming across?

I'd like that job.

I know who/the thread you mean. I think it's a concerted effort to try and get the whole thing/opinions on the matter silenced and shut down. The 'stop @ing me' but continued responding is a give away.

I imagine this thread won't last long though, as a TAAT.

We'll never know who are trolls but if threads are amusing just enjoy them as you would a work of fiction.

Now I think your post sounds like AI, (not troll hunting before I get deleted) but just giving an example that even though I'd don't think you're real I've still answered, as it's still a valid question.

@Wills
throughout history it could be debated that the following have happened :
secret military operations
government's keeping secrets
various officials keep secrets
newspaper stories with their own perspectives
look at all the various propaganda throughout history

basically no one individual or group can be fully trusted

which thread please, i was thinking the lucy l one ?
