There's Something Fishy About Amazon's Anti-Union Twitter Army

> I suffer from depression too, and at one point I wanted to quit Amazon. But I realized it was my fault for the problems I was dealing with, and not Amazon’s. I’m allowed to talk to people, but sometimes I don’t want to. Now I have some great coworkers to pass the nights with.

I don't know exactly on what exact level this tweet is fake (entirely fictional? based on a true story but edited by a social media team?), but it's obvious from the first readthough it's not a normal human tweet. It's been extremely wordsmithed.

Isn’t this illegal? The FTC says that being compensated in any way for a product endorsement must be disclosed, and it considers the term product to include “any product, service, company or industry.”

"Corporate Propaganda: Its Implications For Accounting And Accountability" by David J Collison, University of Dundee, Scotland. [11 pages + 5-page bibliography]

https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/media/csear/discussion-papers/C...

From the abstract: "This paper examines the nature of propaganda and its use by corporations, particularly in the US, over a period of nearly 100 years. It emphasises the invisibility of much of this activity and propaganda's importance for shaping acquiescence in corporate hegemony. The role played by corporate propaganda in the development of different forms of capitalism is addressed. The inculcation of accounting and finance students with values that serve corporate interests is considered: in this context propaganda is inferred in both the longstanding misrepresentation of Adam Smith, and the sustained illusion of competitive 'free markets'."

Really what's the problem here? Twitter's at least half bots, IMHO more like 90%, who even pays attention to the Twitter hordes anyway these days?
