c11-2 (bureaucracy)

An article on NPR, talks about multiple recent twitter accounts that have been made for federal agencies. They look as if they were actually made by federal agents but the creators of the accounts remain anonymous. According to the article, these "rogue" accounts tweet out facts about climate change and directly oppose the Trump administration. What makes these rogue accounts different is that they could be a logical way to oppose a media blackout. Multiple accounts have been made that oppose the Trump administration climate change research. These accounts intend to "flood the Web with real climate facts". The real question, however, is whether or not these accounts are actually influencing anything that they aim to.
