I always have to think of the Wu Ming Foundation/former Luther Blisset collective and their fake news/LARPing missions[1] that showed how easy it was to fool major news outlets back in the 90s. Too bad that now those same techniques have been weaponized with great success.

Loved "Altai" and "Q", the historical fiction they produced (under that pseudonym and "Wu Ming")!

Interesting lecture on the connections between Q and Qanon by Wu Ming 1, also detailing some of their LARPing and hoaxing exploits: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdcAT7pXYko
