You are a senior executive at Adobe.

The CEO of Adobe summons you in his office.

You are in charge of creating a secret task force. The goal is to systematically undermine open source software such as Krita, Inkscape, Kdenlive or GIMP. You have a $50 million budget. Nobody in the company knows about this project except you and Adobe's CEO.

What would you do?

I'd hire slop writers to make articles saying X open source project got hacked y open. Source project got hacked. Then spam replies on the threads when they get posted to reddit with replies like "this is bad, I'm going bad to BigEvilCorp because they have a fulltime team working security". Itd manufacturer reality for people and eventually it'd shift perception.

Also the articles about projects being hacked dont even have to be real. Misinfo travels way faster than the truth
