    I don’t think the SPE is that good a reference, and also not super meaningful to this sort of case of Internet manipulation anyway. Look at the amount of points showing it was basically not a normal experiment but predetermined to act out how the PI wanted - in that wikipedia link.

    My understanding of MK Ultra was basically the government wasted a lot of money because of fear of missing out vs the Soviets. It didn’t accomplish anything.

    And subliminal marketing has been widely debunked to my knowledge. People thought it might do something, but experimentally it didn’t.

    I would have pointed to disinformation campaigns myself - there is research that implies it works.
