What’s the difference between manipulation and influence?
In: Other
Quality of information, intent behind the person in question, do they have any reason to think what they are saying may be inaccurate or untrue, and some big ones:
Do they discourage their audience from seeking out other sources or viewpoints?
Do they tell them they can’t trust others to tell them the truth or use phrases like “only I/we…”?
Do they accurately represent viewpoints they disagree with?
A key feature of manipulators is that no matter what they say they don’t actually want their audience to question or challenge anything they say.
