Facebook said Tuesday it has identified a sprawling online propaganda effort: a pro-China campaign that had a presence on more than 50 websites.
The campaign “appears to be the largest known cross-platform covert influence operation in the world,” Meta said in a report. The researchers said the broadly coordinated postings of pro-China images, videos, comments and audio files were part of a yearslong operation that researchers had previously dubbed “Spamouflage.”
The findings underscore the potential for internet propaganda campaigns to attempt to exploit internet platforms to influence the U.S. election in 2024. Since 2016, Russia, Iran and to a lesser extent China have all launched covert online efforts to influence U.S. voters.
Ah that sad. Guess, who didn’t see any of these propaganda? Yeap, its me because I dont use facebook.
Youve got to be a complete idiot to think you’ve never encountered propaganda just because you dont use facebook.
@laylawashere44 @yoppa I never thought tankies were real until I discovered Lemmy.
Looks like I hurt someone’s feeling just like those propaganda machines on Facebook lol. Do you hate your life ? You always feel like you’re the victim ? The society and people are against you ? Then its the CCP trying to infiltrate democracy by infiltrating Facebook because facebook is democracy.
@yoppa @laylawashere44
Why do you have to be an asshole? Your snide response was uncalled for.
I hate that the X sewer refuse has leaked over here.
