Google slays thousands of fake news vids posted by pro-China group Dragonbridge
It is also the most prolific information-operations threat actor that TAG tracks, according to Google.TAG disabled 53,177 Dragonbridge YouTube channels last year. Of these,"58 percent had zero subscribers and 42 percent of their videos had zero views," Butler and Taege wrote, adding that 83 percent of those videos had less than 100 views.
Whatever Dragonbridge lacks in terms of audience recruitment success, , the group makes up for it with persistence and adaptability, according to Google. "As they evolve over time, Dragonbridge's coordinated inauthentic activity may eventually attract the attention of real users," Butler and Taege said."For this reason, TAG and Mandiant track Dragonbridge closely and Google has taken an aggressive approach to identifying and removing their content."
