Platform Ops
SUMMARY
In-Q-Tel seed money, moderation partnerships, mood experiments run on millions.
FULL DOSSIER
The documented record: In-Q-Tel (CIA's venture arm) invested early in social-analytics firms; DARPA's Social Media in Strategic Communication program funded influence research; the Senate's 2018 reports detail platform manipulation campaigns; and declassified GCHQ JTRIG slides describe online deception operations. The folklore's stronger claim — platforms as designed intelligence fronts — rests on the LifeLog coincidence. The confirmed layer alone justifies the node's hub position.
