A new report details attempts by an online campaign to push American interests abroad.
They removed dozens of accounts used in the campaign in July and August.The researchers say Twitter has identified the US and the UK as the "presumptive countries of origin", while Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, said the US was "the country of origin".
"What is clear, is that the activity is meant to further Western interests, including those of the US and allies."Who were the targets? They found the campaign mirrored some of the tactics commonly used in propaganda campaigns against the West. Similar to previously exposed online propaganda campaigns targeting the West, some of the fake accounts in the pro-US campaign posed as independent media outlets.
