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?
A thousand year celebration for Comrade Xi and his internet warriors
[picks up magnifying glass] ummm.... implies that the genocide against Indians was merely cultural
I'm guessing it was said specifically in the context of rebutting the softened "cultural genocide" version of the Xinjiang atrocity narrative
I was about to ask the same thing. "oooooo so spooky! China is making fun of the US for being a shit place! Call the FBI quick so they can stop making you feel bad!'
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
Thank you, I think I've seen this posted before but I'll give it a quick read
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.
Let a billion & a half people who can all speak English
They really can't tho. The company I work for works with some Chinese companies and the language barrier is insane, 95% of their employees can't speak a word of English. Even the Chinese people that do speak English do it mostly on an intermediate level. I hear it's getting way better with their younger generations though so that's all probably quickly going to change.
Nah I'd keep it in place. The firewall is the only thing protecting them from the brainworm infested reactionary social media of the West
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.
It's the easiest thing in the world to create a mass number of Patreon/Twitch/Youtube accounts and transfer money from those accounts to the people you want to platform through donations and subscriptions. You could easily transfer something like $50k, which is game-changing money for normal people while being rounding error for feds, to up-and-coming channels. This is just 400 accounts split over 3 different platforms subscribing to the $10 tier subscription for an entire year. There's literally no real way for your average person to convincingly establish the link. Once the ball gets rolling and the channel gains enough subscribers, the feds can just move on to the next up-and-coming channel or continue to fund them.
I suspect the feds are already doing this because it's such an obvious play.
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.
