I did know about their domestic bullshit with their strict moderation and fake posts, I didn’t know they had 2,000,000 of them, that is wild.
A lot of intelligence agencies now also pay established influencers for stuff. Like during covid when they were trying to fob blame onto the US, they blamed some DJ that had been to China in late 2019 for introducing the virus, benny bennassi, and hired US influencers to push that narrative. They trolled the hell out of some old lady that shared the last name despite having nothing to do with the DJ.
But Russia pays like the TImes of India to slip stories in they ghostwrote, the US hires influencers for stuff like this, sometimes openly too. I am sure China does a lot of that too.
A good share of what they do in other countries is target their expatriates that have criticized them.
Thanks will look into these links.
