I agree the graphics are above bar for a GOV report.

From my limited understanding many of the HVI contributors listed have experienced microtargeting themselves.

Many may have been duped into thinking they were doing the right thing by relaying seemingly benign messages however the total effect of the "dog pile" was pure terror from the HVI's perspective.

The subversion process is guided from completely benign and friendly conversation through one small compromise at a time. The automatic nature of human interaction is then exploited from a series of reflexive controls and forced decisions that completely undermined the HVI.
