Re: Linked-In Reid Hoffman's fake apology to FB & Jonathon Morgan's claim that he acted alone
Hoffman's apology is fake in that he only said he was sorry after he got caught giving $100,000 to the New Knowlege "experiment" to see the effect of simulated "Russian bots " on the outcome of Alabama election.
There's an ongoing digg on New Knowledge. Everyone involved in this project looks shady. All DEM operatives. This "experiment" seems like election fraud to me; they're getting off lightly if the only thing that happens is getting banned from FB.
One especially interesting statement by New Knowledge CEO Jonathon Morgan. In the The Verge article, Morgan said he was "acting alone as a researcher and not through New Knowledge."

Really?
Because in the original NYT article, the project is described in an "internal report." That would be a report that comes from within New Knowledge, wouldn't it?
The report said that "We orchestrated and elaborate 'false flag' operation." Who is "WE," if the CEO acted alone?
Makes me wonder.
First, why would the CEO say he was acting alone? Is there some important reason that he has for wanting to distance New Knowledge from this scandal?
Second, what does this internal report actually say about the "experiment"? Who wrote it? Who was involved? Where can the public get a copy of this report to see exactly what it says (rather than having to trust the NYT to tell us what it says)?
