"..monitor ongoing chats and conversations."
Different nations have different ideas about what their network users can do and what a gov will do.
If state "sponsored" efforts are getting detected during the "seeking" part they are not state sponsored.
Governments have the skills to ensure they can get in, stay in and escape without detection.
With the mission done.
Some random code litter left for security researchers to ponder.
It will be like East Germany. A file on all connections between all people.
What the USA wanted with DARPA LifeLog https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
The problem was sorting the informants and undercover police from the protesters.
Now that would be some photoshop fun. A protesters face getting some facial recognition next to "trusted" police and military faces in the same image.
One hop of connection.
Are the police protesters too?
Is the protester police?
Whats an AI to do? Slow down for every image to test for advanced photoshop and reject the faces and hop?
Social media becomes difficult for the security services to trust.
Russians sending soothing messages over the internet.
That its time to look at cars and big trucks.
Fast computers reviews and plan a nice holiday.
Enjoy a real party again. Not a political party.
The bots are making the USA isolationist again.
The CIA and MI6 want their small wars back.
Must be some pretty advanced bots to fool a well educated population.
A really poorly educated internet using population that finds the Americana of the bots message nice?
IP range.
Is the message created between 9 am to 5 pm Moscow time?
Is the message creative?
Does the message show advanced thinking that resonated with American mind?
Does message draw on US history and show a quality education system?
All sings of advance Russian education and higher levels of thinking and strategy.
How can the product use a system thats selling information about it more wisely?
The user is the product. Every interaction is sold. Every word, image, voice is ad friendly.
Reminds me of Hotline and later KDX https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/....
A global Bulletin Board System. The user hosts all data. Add some usenet, IRC and a great GUI.
PRISM should have been the wake up for all smart people.
Your company, your brand, your work is getting spied on by the USA.
The social media brand was the way in to spy on you.
This. So much of this. Dilute the social media brand.
They want to do facial recognition? Get the profile one hop from every face of interest.
The more they spy, the more junk they file and sort:)
Start webpage. Something you have total control over.
Add blog, forum, live chat support. IRC. A gui for browser web chat. Video updates for your site.
Live webcam chat with a groups of supporters.
Translations. Have a list of contact details for your site. From security to press, media, general questions, offers of support.
Someone wants to do an interview at 2 am from their part of the world? Do it. Thank them and be ready for lots of different questions.
Be ready for video, sound only, the need for lights, a mic and a good background setting on video chat.
Ensure a good internet connection with another way to connect on the day of the interview.
Someone sends in a security question. Thank them. Given them a clear time line of how the issue will be responded to quickly. Days, weeks, months.
Show them the results and ask if they want recognition. Thank them again. Update any blog, security comments as needed over time.
Set out how the project will be worked on and show progress.
Update the blog every day. Have more detail over weeks and months. Video clips.
Keep control over your forum, your blog, your clips. Sites and social media can change their TOS at anytime so social medias offer of "free" and lots of "ads" can change at any time.

"..monitor ongoing chats and conversations."

Russia understands PRISM and knows who the NSA and GCHQ enters another nation.
PRISM was the wake up call. Now the tech industry understands more and still wants back into getting spied on?
Other people put up group images and tag every face. The user is the product.
Someone is the product. The user is sold.

Better than trusting the US big brand NSA PRISM networks.
This keeps French people safe from the NSA, GCHQ, 5 eyes, Germans.
The crypto will keep both competing nations and support French security forces.
Take money from subway network and put it into social spending.
your state protected paper insulated wireline. That telco monopoly is all ready for NN.

Re "Not without knowing the criteria the Pentagon is using to brand an actor as a "troll"."
People who don't want wars.
The NSA, CIA, GCHQ and DEA. They would have helped domestically.
That is the way. A nice GUI on tech that works. Designed by users, not ad experts.
