According to a piece in the June 2017 publication, Social Media Insider, "social media's real killer app is spreading propaganda, disinformation, and fake news, according to a new study from the University of Oxford's Computational Propaganda Research Project.” Also mentioned, "In Russia, the researchers discovered the conversation on Twitter is carefully managed by automated accounts: in fact, 45% of all Twitter activity in Russia is produced by bots." It is not only Russia but also China that controls every aspect of the lives of its people with the super life-directing app called “WeChat” developed by the Chinese Tech company Tencent. With over one billion registered accounts the app collects and shares with the Chinese government, every conceivable bit of data about its users.
