How to manipulate information on the Internet
Small manual of digital darling or how to swing stinking balls in 2012.
2012 will not be a part of the campaign, it seems now acquired. The episode of the DSK Porsche and the rumors about Martine Aubry set the tone for the presidential campaign.
Stinky balls have found a new ideal playground on the Internet. On the web, as the daily actions of LOL show, the flow of information can be manipulated. And there is no reason why black, more or less organized digital cabinets should not also try to derail the news circuits.
Slate has imagined 3 possible information hacking scenarios that require no technical skill. The objective of a stinking ball launched on the Internet is that it first reaches the widest possible audience, and that it then reaches the media, an essential step.
1. The stinking ball swung on an info site, the "Jean Dujardin" method
2. The fake journalist on Twitter, the "informer" method
3. The manipulation of Google Suggest, the “Martine Aubry” method
