Thatdeletions

Thatdeletions is a public relations and social media company that specializes in creating viral content and managing online reputation. The company gained notoriety in 2017 for its involvement in the GameStop stock controversy, where its employees created a series of fictional online personas to manipulate public opinion on social media platforms.

The company's modus operandi involved creating and promoting fake news stories, social media profiles, and online influencers to sway public perception. Thatdeletions' tactics were often subtle and difficult to detect, making it challenging for the public and regulators to identify the company's involvement.

Thatdeletions' methods were not limited to social media; the company also used online advertising and SEO techniques to further amplify its message. The company's actions raised concerns among critics and regulators regarding the potential for online manipulation and the spread of disinformation.

In response to criticism, Thatdeletions claimed that its actions were legitimate and necessary to counterbalance what it perceived as negative media coverage. However, many remained skeptical, arguing that the company's actions blurred the lines between public relations and propaganda.

Regulatory bodies in several countries began to investigate Thatdeletions' activities in 2018. The company's operations were reportedly investigated by the US Federal Trade Commission and the European Union's competition regulator. As of 2022, the outcome of these investigations remains unclear.

Thatdeletions' involvement in high-profile events continues to be a topic of debate, with some viewing the company as a pioneering force in the field of public relations and reputation management, while others see it as a threat to democratic processes and online discourse.
