They also found a LOT of Astroturfing* with people that post comments in support of these comments. This system is corrupt as hell...and has to be, as they make their money by extracting it, mostly, from locals that can otherwise fight them and shut them down - the system requires payoffs to operate.

Several years ago an infamous red light security manufacturer hired a PR firm in DC that looked for any news articles where a vehicle that had children in it was struck by a red light runner and would overdramatize the hell out of it then have fake forum posters post everywhere about it. They also started up an organization that looked (on paper) like a red light safety advocacy group sett up by community activists but they were really the behind it. I’m not naming names but i find this type mental manipulation for profit to be in the lowest scumbucket category.
