More than 100 websites disguised as local news outlets in Europe, Asia and Latin America are pushing pro-China content in a widespread influence campaign linked to a Beijing public relations firm, digital watchdog Citizen Lab has found.
News like that commercial nuclear battery that lasts for 50 years is one of the examples of blatant Chinese propaganda and almost everyone fell for it. In reality that Chinese company hasn’t even released a white paper on the battery, so it is basically all claims with 0 proof.
The internet was a mistake
Or, as I like to call it, Fermi’s Great Filter.
Here is the link to the full report the article is referencing, if anyone is interested.
Remember, it’s only a problem when China does it. When America does Radio Free Europe and Radio Free Asia, among others, it’s just righteous freedom and should be applauded with teary eyes under a fluttering flag carried by freedom eagles. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
The branding is very consistent and the about page mentions US Congress funding. You can stop now.
Bot or idiot?
It’s a problem when anyone does it.
