WaPo: Pentagon Orders Review of Psyops Program over Fake Social Media Accounts
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Washington Post reports the Pentagon has ordered an internal review
of the military's use of clandestine psychological operations online,
including the creation of fake social media accounts on Facebook,
Twitter and Instagram. Over 150 fake accounts linked to the military
have reportedly been removed by social media companies for violating
their policies. Some of the accounts were used to post messages about
Russia, China and Iran.
