Tldr: more fake accounts to spam pro-CCP content
-
I’m sure we have seen how these fake accounts “raid” comment sections with copy and pasted messages.
And if you’re on twitter, you may have seen copy and pasted tweets too.
That’s not all! CIR also found accounts that actually post content that are anti-“the west”.
Let’s hope these spam-ish accounts get removed. Social media platforms aren’t meant for robots.

Facebook takes down China-based network spreading false COVID-19 claims
//The parent company of #Facebook and #Instagram said on Wednesday, December 1, 2021, it has taken down more than 600 accounts, pages and groups connected to a Chinese influence operation spreading #COVID19 #disinformation, including an account purporting to be a fictitious Swiss biologist.
The China-based network was one of six #Meta, formerly know as Facebook, removed in November for abusing its platforms, a reminder that bad actors around the world are using social media to promote false information and harass opponents.
The China-based operation came to light after the company was alerted to an account purporting to be a Swiss biologist named Wilson Edwards (no such person exists). The account posted claims on Facebook and Twitter in July that the U.S. was pressuring World Health Organization scientists to blame China for the COVID-19 virus. The posts alleging U.S. intimidation soon appeared in Chinese state media stories.//
