2. Manipulación de Narrativas en Cine y Televisión.

El caso del "Snyder Cut" y las campañas de Disney son ejemplos recurrentes de cómo las empresas intentan controlar el discurso en línea.
- Im pretty sure the snyder cut thing was an astroturfing campaign. Major actors tweeting the hashtag within seconds of each other their manager runs their accounts, the fact that there didnt seem to ever be real opposition, and also this.
