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.//

Buying Influence: How China Manipulates #Facebook and #Twitter
//...a new set of documents reviewed by The New York Times reveals in stark detail how Chinese officials tap private businesses to generate content on demand, draw followers, track critics and provide other services for information campaigns. That operation increasingly plays out on international platforms like Facebook and Twitter, which the Chinese government blocks at home.
The documents, which were part of a request for bids from contractors, offer a rare glimpse into how China’s vast bureaucracy works to spread propaganda and to sculpt opinion on global social media. They were taken offline after The Times contacted the Chinese government about them...
A separate document reviewed by The Times shows that the same local branch of Shanghai police purchased video-making services from a different company in November. The police asked the supplier to provide at least 20 videos a month and to distribute those on domestic and overseas social media. The document referred to the task as original video production that would be used to fight the “battle of public opinion.”
Earlier this year, a New York Times and ProPublica analysis showed howthousands of videos portraying members of the Uyghur ethnic minority living happy and free lives were a key part of an information campaign that Twitter ultimately attributed to the Chinese Communist Party...
Work like what Shanghai Cloud Link pitched is likely just the tip of the iceberg. Local governments and police across China have put out similar requests for services to influence overseas social media, but often in vague terms. Occasionally, specifics are revealed.
In 2017, for instance, the police in Inner Mongolia purchased software that allowed government trolls to post directly to multiple social media sites, inside and outside of China, according to documents reviewed by The Times.
In another case, a contractor had downloaded hundreds of access credentials for Facebook’s public feed, allowing it to collect data about who commented on which posts and when.//

China harvests masses of data on Western targets to fight the Public Opinion War. Central Propaganda Department staff: To Help understand the anti-China network
The US "Washington Post" published an investigative report on Friday December 31, finding that China began to expand online monitoring and censorship overseas at least two years ago. The Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau and other mainland government departments invite bids from official media and enterprises to build a monitoring system and user profile database to track the information dynamics of Western social media such as Twitter and Facebook in real time, targeting important figures in Western political and business media. The focus includes Hong Kong, Taiwan, Xinjiang, and Sino-US relations. When negative reports and public opinion trends against China, officials will be automatically warned. Some mainland public opinion analysts said that this move is to help Beijing understand foreign anti-China forces in order to fight public opinion wars, but American think tank scholars warned that overseas Chinese will be at risk for everyone’s activities on social media.

華郵:為打輿論戰 內地網絡監控擴海外 建西方政商傳媒資料庫 中宣部單位職員:助了解反華網絡 - 20220102 - 國際
【明報專訊】美國《華盛頓郵報》上周五(12月31日)刊登調查報道,發現中國至少兩年前已開始將網絡監控及審查擴展至海外。北京市公安局及其他內地政府部門向官媒以及企業招標,採建實時追蹤Twitter、Facebook(fb)等西方社交媒體信息動態的監控系統及用戶個人資料庫,以西方政商傳媒重要人物為對象,焦點包括香港、台灣、新疆以至中美關係等,一旦出現針對中國負面報道及輿論走勢時,會自動向官員示警。有內地輿情分析師表明,此舉有助北京了解境外反華勢力來打輿論戰,但美國智庫學者警告境外中國人會因此對在社交媒體活動人人自危。
