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.
Not here though. Much like glorious leader Xi Jinping, Lemmy is free from corruption and beautiful like cherry blossom in the wind.
Propaganda pushers are the absolute fucking bottomfeeders of the lowest lows.
If your job is purposely, wittingly mislead people, you’re a fucking waste of blood and organs.

Naw.
yar, matey.
Ops post is literally western propaganda
Idk. One of the examples is basically a post encouraging people to come and see the Great Wall of China.
Wait do they just mean lemmygrad and hexbear users being federated to all the other instances?
Lol, right?
But actually probably not because it’s just taken for granted tankies are here and they actually have to “work” to “infiltrate” places like Facebook and Reddit.

No shit.
Why is Lemmy not on this list?
Because lemmy shills are super obvious, nobody has to “discover” them
They aren’t even good at it. Their entire schtick is literally “you are obviously biased because you haven’t read enough Lenin”, like it’s this big gotcha.
Maybe try reading more
As far as I can tell I’ve read way more Lenin than your average lemmy tankie
Yeah, motherfuckers over at lemmygrad are astroturfing HARD. It’s like the Russia/China circlejerk over there. The “greatest socialist experiment of all time”. Smfh.
I see you haven’t met hexbear yet
USSR maybe, Russia today is a capitalist hegemon. China is a mixed economy, and I find on the communist subs people often don’t realize it went through all kinds of neoliberal reforms. There’s both pro and anti China propaganda. Shen Yun for instance is pretty absurd anti China propaganda run by the Falun Gong.
Tankies still shill for Russia and China despite neither being communist.
WOW, I’m really surprised by this revelation. 🙃

i have recently seen quite a few articles such as these, denouncing pro-china propaganda, but I feel like it is foolish to think that china is any worse in that regard than our own countries (western perspective).
I feel articles like this one, only foment anti-chinese sentiment, in favour of just another world power.
No fucking shit literally every world power plays this game
It’s like something happened in 1989, not sure what, can’t put my finger on it…
These headlines… These articles…
Of course it’s happening. Who didn’t think it was happening.
Ah that sad. Guess, who didn’t see any of these propaganda? Yeap, its me because I dont use facebook.
