US Military Invests In Spyware For Social Networking

The Pentagon is developing software that will allow US military personnel to secretly influence social media and spread pro-American propaganda through fake Internet personas, according to an exclusive report by The Guardian UK.  The military awarded a contract to a California-based company to develop an “online personal management service” that will allow online spies to control ten personas at once. Web experts are comparing the program to China's attempt to stifle free speech and web surfing.
