Exclusive: Military’s ‘persona’ software cost millions, used for ‘classified social media activities’ | The Raw Story

According to Commander Bill Speaks, the chief media officer of CENTCOM's digital engagement team, the public cannot know what the military wants with such technology because its applications are secret.

"This contract," he wrote in reference to the Air Force's June 22, 2010 filing, "supports classified social media activities outside the U.S., intended to counter violent extremist ideology and enemy propaganda."

Also, digital engagement team? Really?
