Social media are mechanisms to promote conformity like the type seen in Asch conformity experiments, I would not be surprised to learn the mods are security service sock puppets controlling the thoughts of the nation or the West anyway.

MI5's David Shayler gave an insight into what he was required to do which was write articles for newspapers before he fell out with them, this was pre-internet days. Using the media to control the population is a valid tool.

Kompromat is something the security services of many countries engage in, which gives you an insight into their blackmail techniques of business execs, politicians and anyone else who is outspoken. Its also why this stuff is not taught at school because the govt would lose control of outspoken people. You'll be surprised at the criminality in the state in general and democracy is that perfect tool to keep the idiots coming back to vote for moar!
