F00058 | Deplatform (cancel culture) | *Deplatform People: This technique needs to be a bit more specific to distinguish it from "account removal" or DDOS and other techniques that get more specific when applied to content. For example, other ways of deplatforming people include attacking their sources of funds, their allies, their followers, etc. |
F00059 | Identify susceptible demographics | All techniques provide or are susceptible to being countered by, or leveraged for, knowledge about user demographics. |

Nope, wasn't a transcript error: original note says influencers, as in find people of influence that might be targetted. |
