From Gizmodo, I like the understated humour of the last line:
Indicating that the ways Facebook can continue to erode trust in its products are evidently limitless, Bloomberg
reported Monday that the social media network has used specialized
toolkits to monitor and shepherd the public’s opinion of the company and
its top brass. This reportedly involved the use of two programs: one
titled Stormchaser and another dubbed Night’s Watch, evidently a Game of Thrones reference.
Citing
former employees and internal documents, Bloomberg reported that
Stormchaser has been used by Facebook employees since 2016 to track
viral content involving everything from “Delete Facebook” campaigns to
claims that Zuckerberg is an alien (big if true).
