This reminds me of a Spitting Image sketch set in Apartheid South Africa. Permit me to borrow from it and offer a scene to you.
An online video broadcast. A gentleman with an Eastern European accent is stood behind a microphone.
"My fellow internet citizens! I feel the time has come for me to tell you the facts as they really are."
*cheers from the PR drones assembled there*
"Bananas are marsupials."
*cheers from the PR drones assembled there*
"Cars run on gravy"
*louder cheers from the PR drones assembled there*
"Salmon live in trees and eat pencils!"
*even louder cheers from the PR drones assembled there. Two PR drones pass out through excitement*
"All your data are belong to us! Trust us to give you the protection we say you need!"
*cheers from the PR drones drowned out by the corporate anthem*
This is satire. Or is it starting to come true....?
