“Hacker X”—the American who built a pro-Trump fake news empire—unmasks himself.
He was hired to build a fake news op but now wants to put things right.
This is the story of the mastermind behind one of the largest "fake news" operations in the US.
For two years, he ran websites and Facebook groups that spread bogus stories, conspiracy theories, and propaganda. Under him was a dedicated team of writers and editors paid to produce deceptive content—from outright hoaxes to political propaganda—with the supreme goal of tipping the 2016 election to Donald Trump.
