British army creates the 77th battalion to fight through social networks

The British Government has announced the creation of the 77th battalion, a cyber unit composed of soldiers familiar with social media. The group will use social networks like Faceboo and Twitter to monitor their opponents, the information they produce and to run PSYOPs. The British army will assign more than 1,500 specialists to the new troop that will use popular social networks to spread disinformation, run intelligence operations and disclose real war truths. The new cyber unit will reportedly begin its activity in April 2015.”]
