A vast, covert Russian influence operation on TikTok involving 12,800 fake accounts spreading disinformation about the war in Ukraine to millions of users in Germany, France, Italy, Poland, Israel and Ukraine, has been uncovered by BBC Verify and @dfrlab.bsky.social.
We are so fucked. I just do not understand how we can to a place where we can trust each other to not go to war, when it is so easy to spread propaganda that will cause more wars. And in a way and range like never before.
It’s so easy, and social media companies practically beg you to create multiple accounts. Seems like a no-brainer for misinformation artists and foreign adversaries.
