Probable PRC "Spamouflage" campaign targets dozens of Canadian Members
- jruohonen 3y agoI wonder whether state actors carry out cost-benefit analyses because this tactic does not sound that successful: "Spamouflage should be considered a tactic or technique, not an entity. It is a network of new or hijacked social media accounts that posts and increases the number of propaganda messages across multiple social media platforms – including Facebook, X/Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Medium, Reddit, TikTok, and LinkedIn. The word is a combination of “spam” and “camouflage”, intended to portray the hidden attempts to spread spam-like content and propaganda among more every-day, human-interest-style content. Spamouflage networks are largely contained within their own echo chambers of fake users, and rarely garner organic social media engagement from real users."
