Other posts by the network have referenced how “racism is an indelible shame on American democracy” and how the US committed “cultural genocide against the Indians,” according to a Meta report in August. Another post claimed that former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is “riddled with scandals.”

a cartoon featuring the so-called QAnon Shaman who rioted at the US Capitol as a symbol of “western style democracy,” and a post that suggested US defense contractors profit off the deaths of innocent people

Uhh. Where's the disinformation here?

That operation's name? Hexbear.

CNN trying to start Russiagate but it's Chyna.

PS media outlets like CNN are the world's largest known disinformation operations lol.

Everyone in China with a social media account is a Chinese deep state operative.

This propaganda is so obviously obtuse, but liberals believe it 1000%

Stuff like this makes me think we're doomed to a cold war 2.0 and I'll never get chance to move there

Canary Mission doxxing Americans isn't the problem

Mr. Xi tear down this firewall!

But fr do it, unleash the floodgates of the Chinese posters army on Americans. Let a billion & a half people who can all speak English run rougshod all over every corner of Western social media. Virtually no Americans speak Chinese, so the power imbalance is overwhelmingly favoring China. I want to see American news outlets demand the firewall go back up. I give it 36 hours before the "freedom, but at what cost" articles start getting churned out.

World's largest disinformation campaign*

*not funded by the US

Bot networks really don't strike me as effective or efficient in manipulating social media.

If I were running the show I believe it's more effective to let specific people rise to the top and then provide a "support fund" to augment their activities. The goal would be to let the best posters rise to the top and then manage their transition into doing that activity fulltime. You're going to get way more out of real authentic propagandists than some bot network with limited impact.

A "media support team" would be set up that goes about identifying the best of the best and figuring out how to transition them into the role fulltime in a way that also enables them to disconnect from any funding the support team provides too. By the time the person is identified as someone that might have had their career helped along by a state actor the state will be fully disconnected and any trail would be dead.

Often, these victims don’t know where to turn. Some have spoken to law enforcement, including the FBI – but little has been done...

“They want to deprive my freedom of speech, so I feel like it’s not only an attack on me,” said Chen, who was ejected from his own [anti-communist Zoom] meeting during the disruption. “They also attack America.”

biggest fucking babies lmao

The DOJ complaint filed against Chinese officials alleged that last year they sought to take advantage of the second anniversary of George Floyd’s death and post on social media about his murder to “reveal the law enforcement brutality” in the US...

“This is the rub with a lot of cybercrimes, that it becomes very, very difficult to actually put the perpetrators in jail,” said Lindsay Gorman, the head of technology and geopolitics at the German Marshall Fund’s Alliance for Securing Democracy.

Foreigners criticizing porkies is a cybercrime lol

world's largest known online disinformation operation

china discovered advertising?

right on cue.. juuuust before Xi lands in SF they run some smear shit.. the pattern of smearing Xi and the CPC or even China in general directly before and/or after a high-level discussion has been unbroken in what seems like years now

This is terrifying. It's like gamergate, but weaponized by a state actor.

Isn't the Meta report being cited from an Atlantic Council goon?

Shocking.

This probably would have been the narrative pushed in 2016 if Russia hadn't been pissing the US off in Syria.
