Caught: A Philippine Troll Farm Using ChatGPT for Pro-Marcos Content
from Teka Teka
A Philippine firm, Comm&Sense Inc., was named in an OpenAI threat-intel report for using ChatGPT to generate pro-Marcos propaganda across Facebook and TikTok. Political sociologist Ash Presto joins Regine Cabato to break down how chatbot-generated content can be used to sustain loyalist narratives online at scale: from mass-produced comments to paraphrased talking points seeded across platforms. They also explore the emotional infrastructure behind these efforts: how Marcos-era nostalgia is passed down within families, why users share partisan content regardless of its truth value, and how Gen Z audiences adapt by fleeing to alternative platforms like X and Instagram.
