FEC loopholes mean Correct the Record can openly coordinate with Clinton's campaign.
Citing "lessons learned from online engagement with 'Bernie Bros,'" a pro-Hillary Clinton Super PAC is pledging to spend $1 million to "push back against" users on Twitter, Facebook, Reddit and Instagram.
Correct the Record's "Barrier Breakers" project boasts that it has already "addressed more than 5,000 people that have personally attacked Hillary Clinton on Twitter" in its press release, which the PAC released on Thursday.
The PAC was created in May of last year when it was spun off from the American Bridge SuperPAC, which is run by longtime Hillary and Bill Clinton supporter David Brock. Brock also founded the left-wing media watchdog website Media Matters for America.
Some Bernie Sanders-supporting users on Reddit already started to notice the changes on Thursday afternoon.

(51,907 posts)What is particularly troubling about the project to combat users on Twitter, Reddit, Facebook, and Instagram is that users may not realize they are targets of Correct The Records information operation. The project apparently has no plan to announce their membership in this task force. They will likely select users, who are popular, and go after them until those users are overwhelmed to a point where their expression of their opinions are drowned out by the task forces response to their online activity.
Correct The Record may claim this type of project is necessary to defend against Bernie Bros, but numerous women, who support Sanders, have come under attack as if they have betrayed their gender by refusing to support Clinton. One Clinton supporter told a Sanders supporter to give up her woman card because her support for Sanders showed she sucked at being a woman. When actress and model Emily Ratajkowski expressed her support for Sanders, she was told to shut up and go back to being a hot woman. She was even asked to show her tits because that is the spirit of socialism.
In other words, while there is plenty of evidence there are anonymous Bernie Bros online who say sexist and repulsive things to women who support Clinton, there is a tit-for-tat that can be carried out, showing women who support Sanders have experienced the same kind of abuse online. To put it even more bluntly, women who express their political opinions online are cyber-bullied daily, and manipulating those attacks into a means to cripple an opponents political campaign is quite devious.
The Clinton campaign, and in particular, Correct The Record, is so filled with conceit that it thinks, in the middle of the Democratic primary when there are over a thousand pledged delegates to still be awarded, that they can target the attacks or criticisms of Clinton by Sanders supporters published on social media and then push campaign propaganda at these same supporters that will convince them to support Clinton. It is incredibly vain, and an example of how the Clinton campaign has believed all along that it is entitled to support from Democratic voters.
