Flood Information Space (ee7bc41a-9eb0-5732-924a-3885e1c3bee9)

Flooding sources of information (e.g. Social Media feeds) with a high volume of inauthentic content.

This can be done to control/shape online conversations, drown out opposing points of view, or make it harder to find legitimate information. 

Bots and/or patriotic trolls are effective tools to achieve this effect.

This Technique previously used the name Flooding the Information Space.
