Rally Forge

player

A political marketing outfit paid teenagers to run hundreds of fake social-media accounts, and the group behind it walked away clean.

Who they are

Rally Forge, a firm tied to Jake Hoffman, an Arizona state senator and former Turning Point USA figure.

What they do

It ran deceptive online influence operations, including a fake left-wing front group.

How it works

In 2018 it created 'America Progress Now' posing as leftist; in 2020 it ran a Phoenix troll farm using paid teenagers behind 276 fake accounts, which got it banned from Facebook, while Turning Point USA avoided punishment.

Why it matters

It shows how paid, disguised online manipulation works and how the sponsoring organization can escape the consequences.
