The city of Minneapolis is planning to hire six social media influencers to spread city-friendly propaganda during the trial of Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer who killed George Floyd. The city hopes that the information campaign will prevent further protests in the city.

According to CBSN 4 in Minnesota, the influencers will intentionally target Black, Native American, Somali, Hmong, and Latinx communities during the trial. Each influencer will be paid $2,000.
