China is using the world's largest known online disinformation operation to harass Americans, a CNN review finds
The Chinese government has built up the world’s largest known online disinformation operation and is using it to harass US residents, politicians, and businesses—at times threatening its targets with violence, a CNN review of court documents and public disclosures by social media companies has found.
The onslaught of attacks – often of a vile and deeply personal nature – is part of a well-organized, increasingly brazen Chinese government intimidation campaign targeting people in the United States, documents show.
The US State Department says the tactics are part of a broader multi-billion-dollar effort to shape the world’s information environment and silence critics of Beijing that has expanded under President Xi Jinping. On Wednesday, President Biden is due to meet Xi at a summit in San Francisco.
Victims face a barrage of tens of thousands of social media posts that call them traitors, dogs, and racist and homophobic slurs. They say it’s all part of an effort to drive them into a state of constant fear and paranoia.
How about you ask them what they want instead of using them as pawns because you think you'll get two senators?
I won't get any senators because I'm not even in the US. I just wanted to be a contrarian to the guy above who is clearly just trying to be inflammatory 🤡
You must be a special kind of trash to think 'free puerto rico' is "just trying to be inflammatory"
Takes a more special kind of trash to know trash. You can kindly fuck off now and take your shit opinions with you.
No it doesn't. What a stupid thing to say.
Likewise, what a stupid back and forth you've dragged us down to. Absolutely mindless.
You have nothing to say but nonsense about how an average person can't identify trash and you want to high horse me about the level of discourse.
It's a common saying ya uncultured dope. And yes, you have dragged this down to shitting on others and name-calling because you can't realize that what I said originally was not serious but you gotta make it into some stupid online cat fight one to rub one out. Good job, you really contribute something to Lemmy and make this place better. Pat yourself on the back and wipe down your keyboard. I hope you're satisfied.
"I come from a whole culture of idiots" is all I hear
Yeah, I mean you're the stupid uncultured expert. What do I know if it's your your people I learned it from. Lol
