The Intercept show that Amazon hired a team of “ambassadors” to troll social media platforms in defense of Jeff Bezos and the company. Codenamed “Veritas,” the program involved dispatching paid propagandists on Twitter and elsewhere to say awesome-sounding things about Bezos and Amazon. These propagandists also promoted Bernie Sanders and others advocating for socialism. These paid trolls also came out in force more recently to defend Amazon against claims that the company abuses its employees and forces them to pee in bottles while on the job to avoid gaps in productivity. One troll pretending to be an Amazon employee responded to a tweet from someone saying to Amazon that he was “ok with getting the garbage I order from you a lot later if it means your employees are able to take adequate breaks and work with dignity.”
