Meta Disrupts Disinformation Campaign

Me, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram announced today that they have disrupted a campaign of disinformation linked to Chinese law enforcement. The social media company took down over 7700 accounts and nearly 950 pages on Facebook and what they're calling the largest cross platform covert in influence operation in the world. The campaign was aimed at generating positive posts about China while spreading negative stories about the United States. Meta says the disinformation was being spread across their platforms and others including medium reddit, Tumblr youtube and of course, formerly known as Twitter metas. Cyber security experts say the network overall was widespread but not overly effective.
