The government of Azerbaijan hires tech-savvy “political technologists” to create pro-government propaganda, and run smear campaigns on anyone deemed to be anti-government. Opposition politicians and anyone who speaks against the government can be the target of these on-line campaigns which include articles posted on-line and use of social media to discredit individuals or businesses. Smear campaigns initiated by the government are hard to confront. Pray for “on-line protection” around Christians, and others who stand up for justice (The Bible, Romans 13:10).
