And, unlike the mythical figures of the dark web’s code-crackers or the automated armies of bots and algorithm-generated troll farms (deployed by the world’s right-wing propagandists), these acts of data sabotage were neither highly complex in their inception nor exceedingly opaque in their execution. They were not so much a case of an elaborate hack as a shot in the dark. — Aris Komporozos-Athanasiou, Speculative Communities, 304
