As a public company, not disclosing that they manufacuter conversation and opinion with fake data

You gave it backwards. As a public company, if they can make money doing that but choose not to, they can be sued by the shareholders.

I don't think there's any problems with doing it, as long as they aren't claiming otherwise.

If they lie about it it becomes fraud.

Edit: And what are they going to do once asked on a public earnings call? Lie?

Edit: Falsely posting stuff might also open up a can of worms around the site no longer being protected by being user generated content?
