Alexi Mostrous: 本播客调查了强尼·德普与艾梅柏·希尔德之间的法律纠纷，探讨艾梅柏·希尔德是否遭受了有组织的网络攻击，以及幕后操纵者是谁。调查始于作者注意到社交媒体上充斥着针对希尔德的负面信息，这与他以往的调查经验不同，让他意识到背后可能存在某种操纵。通过与网络情报专家Daniel Mackey的合作，作者深入调查了这一事件，并采访了希尔德的律师Jennifer Robinson以及电脑专家Ron Schnell，试图揭开真相。 Daniel Mackey: 德普与希尔德案件中的网络舆论战与作者之前调查过的信息战类似，其规模和协调性令人震惊。他及其情报界联系人都认为这种网络操纵非常奇怪，这表明背后可能存在有组织的行动，例如购买机器人账号或雇佣网络水军来抹黑希尔德的声誉。 Jennifer Robinson: 作为希尔德在英国诽谤案中的律师，Robinson亲身经历了案件审理过程中希尔德及其律师遭受的网络暴力和骚扰。她指出，在英国审判期间，希尔德及其律师受到了抗议者的骚扰和辱骂，网络上也充斥着针对希尔德的恶意攻击，这些攻击似乎是协调的。她还提到，德普的律师使用了过时的、带有刻板印象的策略来盘问希尔德，并质疑希尔德提供的证据。 Ron Schnell: 作为电脑专家，Schnell分析了大量的反希尔德推文，并使用Botometer工具检测了机器人账号。虽然他的工作在大部分反诉被驳回后停止了，但他掌握的数据可能包含揭示账号之间合作关系的模式、网络和链接。他认为，对大量数据的分析可能揭示出有组织的网络攻击行为。
