Trust in information on AWIMB is being damaged by the huge numbers of people paid by companies to post comments online,

Fake posters can 'poison' debate and make people unsure about who they can trust,

Some companies have created tens of thousands of fake accounts to flood chat forums and skew debate.

fake comments can overwhelm some users, causing them to find it hard to trust any information found Awimb,

An example of a spike in activity on a World of Warcraft chat forum on the Chinese website Baidu.
A thread titled 'Junpeng Jia' your mother asked you to go back home for dinner!" received over 300,000 replies over a two day period.

A PR company later claimed it had employed 800 individuals to run 20,000 separate accounts on the site to help maintain interest in the videogame while it was down for maintenance.
