Former Chief Technology Officer for Vote Leave found to be placing Facebook ads pretending to be from Green Party -

Good on ⁦ @itvnews⁩ for following through.

They say maybe they want to split the Remain vote.

Yes.p

But I have another theory. https://www.itv.com/news/2019-11-27/former-chief-technology-officer-for-leave-campaign-found-to-be-placing-facebook-ads-pretending-to-be-from-green-party/

Sure. They seek to split the vote and discourage Tactical Voting.

Resist. Vote tactically.

But I also think this is a honey trap. Encourage voters with environmental concerns in so they can collect their data and target them very specifically to use them to further divide .

This article looks at the honey trolling.

Pulling people in then using them.

They are the professionals in this article. https://twitter.com/fascinatorfun/status/1199690079918268416?s=21
