Description

Metal Gear is a term we've applied to the combined use of persona management (fake internet people operated en masse by a software-assisted human operator), attribution (identification and surveillance of those who'd prefer to remain anonymous), and advanced data collection and modelling. Our earlier investigation into HBGary, Palantir, and the like shows that such methodology has already been misused at high levels; our intent is to root out any other ongoing or planned misuse by public and private entities and then expose them.
