Sizzle subscriber Jackie just showed me News Jacker, a cookie manipulator designed to get people that think climate change isn't real or not a big deal into reading more accurate and realistic climate change related news. You send someone a link which appears to be an innocent edible cookie recipe, but in the background modifies the inedible digital cookies on their device to make it seem like the user of that device is interested in learning more about climate change. It's the same way ads are shown to you based on previous websites you've visited, but for any service that recommends news to you (i.e: Google News, Microsoft Edge's homepage, etc). The creators don't go into much more detail than that, but I like the concept.
