Drop in the ocean. I recall reading an article several years ago on how they publically announced job openings at a US Airforce base for _1000_ people, and they made it clear that the job was to maintain and operate multiple online accounts and personas.

Link?

I also remember reading several articles along the same lines mostly coming out of Eglin AFB. Due to the horrible state of search engines now I can't find the originals, but a saved paper I have in my bookmarks suggests similar: http://arxiv.org/pdf/1402.5644.pdf

It would take more searching of archives than I have capacity for, but I can at least anecdotally confirm GP's claim.

What paper of the paper is relevant to the claim that there were "publically announced job openings at a US Airforce base for _1000_ people" to "maintain and operate multiple online accounts and personas"?

Or it's hard to find because there is no original?

What a weirdly aggressive tone to take.
