Monsanto accused in court of paying an army of shills

In a San Francisco federal court case, the plaintiff accused GMO giants Monsanto of hiring third-parties who hide their association with the company to respond to negative online comments, also known as ‘shills’.
The case challenges Monsanto’s corrupt relationship with members of the Environmental Protection Agency and their attempts to manipulate scientific publications and crack down on online dissent. Monsanto’s ‘Let Nothing Go’ campaign allegedly hired online ‘shills’ to quickly respond to social media chatter about the carcinogenic properties of their ‘RoundUp’ product.
The plaintiff claims to have developed non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma as a result of exposure to glyphosate in Monsanto’s ‘Roundup’ product, and believes that Monsanto aggressively attempted to remove all warnings of the risks surrounding the pesticide.

Typical liberal response, accuse the right for something they do.

hmmm great question, tough decision

What's it going to take to kill the monsanto corporation before they literally kill the entire planet through herbicide?

well the court case itself is legitimate, and OP's link provides one of the court documents from this case. feel free to dig through stuff at the california district court's website http://www.cand.uscourts.gov/VC/roundupmdl
it looks like that particular document might be behind a paywall at the PACER public access to court electronic documents site. (10 cents per page) unless i missed it.
this particular aspect of the overall case doesn't seem to be getting mainstream attention (the accusation of using shills as part of the 'let nothing go' program), but it's certainly being reported by blogs of different stripes, from conspiracy blogs to places like https://usrtk.org/

Someone's going to have to leak something big to scare people into shunning Monsanto.

Every single GMO thread on /sci/ is by shills for shills.

I don't have a grudge against GMO's but Monsanto is an evil fucken company.

Did you mean to type this?

And consequently, Monsanto is ruining the potential for GMO crops with their disgusting business practices because they have given GMO crops a bad name in the media. They would rather monopolize the market than let the technology be utilized in a responsible and mutually beneficial way. A great example of how free market capitalism doesn't work in the real world

Can what you wrote even be called damage control anymore?
