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.
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.
Marketing. All of it. The entire industry of marketing and sales.

Let this be a lesson everyone. By getting paid for focus groups you are helping sales people manipulate us even more.
What if I give them bullshit answers?

Naw.
yar, matey.
Honestly, I feel like propaganda at least aims a bit higher than typical marketing. You’re trying for grand aims of state and party, not trying to convince people to stew their livers in Bud instead of Coors.
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.
