Meta maps way to 'kill' online deception campaigns

"Meta maps way to 'kill' online deception campaigns"

There are a couple of things that stand out in this article. First and foremost, of course, is the unmitigated arrogance of the pseudo-intellectual who sees his/her fellows as ""Human stupidity [being] one of the great powers in the universe..." and "...that there is no patch for human gullibility." Or, we're too stupid to be trusted to have our own opinions.

And this fits with the word "attacker" which clearly means here someone else with an undesirable counter argument to whatever crap story the 'attackee' is trying to sell. When Corporate tells one that they are doing something 'helpful', get as far away as you can because the only thing Corporate helps is itself. So, we will have 'watchers' washing our Media for us which then cues up a most famous quotation "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?" translated in various ways but here "Who watches the watchers?"

"Human stupidity is one of the great powers in the universe, but this kill chain is trying to identify all the different kinds of operations that can try to target human weakness,"

I think this is aimed at phishing more than "fake" news. But the person quoted above seems to believe he is immune to this "great power in the universe." That attitude pretty much ensures that he is not.
