Harris campaign scrambles to hide alleged manipulation of social media to make itself look popular

Two months after the Harris-Walz presidential campaign got caught changing news headlines in its ads on Google to make the nominees look favorable to the Democratic ticket, prompting a GOP congressman to demand answers from Google, an anonymous sleuth detailed another campaign effort to apparently manufacture the appearance of popularity on a tech platform that's already heavily progressive.

The campaign is manipulating Reddit's algorithm in violation of platform rules, "Reddit Lies" wrote in a screenshot-laden expose in The Federalist on Tuesday morning that apparently prompted a scramble among the campaign and volunteers to hide the effort.
