COIN in the USA

Here is a report about how the US government apparently created a Twitter-like social network to destabilize Cuba:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but once again it seems that Amy Goodman can't see the forest for the trees. The REAL story here should have been "Twitter, Facebook, and all social networks create unrest everywhere they are found, including right here in the good ol' US of A".

Maybe the CIA didn't create social networking (according to Finch on the TV show "Person of Interest", he created it), but they sure know how to take advantage of it. How many "fake" accounts are there? And how many of them spread propaganda and lies mainly for counterinsurgency (COIN) purposes ... both outside and inside the US?

Has everyone forgotten that Uncle Sam invented the Internet? It too is one of his favorite tools.
