The Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group (JTRIG), a unit in one of Britain’s intelligence agencies, is tasked with creating sockpuppet accounts and fake content on social media, in order to use &quot;dirty tricks&quot; to &quot;destroy, deny, degrade [and] disrupt&quot; enemies by &quot;discrediting&quot; them. In this talk, we reveal some of that content, in relation to infiltrating activists groups around the world, including during the Arab spring and Iranian revolution.
