Meta reckons China's troll farms can learn from Russia's

Russia appears to be"better" at running online trolling campaigns aimed at pushing its political narratives than China, according to Meta's latest Adversarial Threat Report.[PDF], published Tuesday, features Meta's claims that it has made the world a little bit safer by blocking two of the largest political influence operations it's ever detected on its platforms – one linked to China and the other likley driven by Russia.

The China-based campaign involved 7,704 Facebook accounts, 954 Facebook pages, 15 groups on the social network and 15 Instagram accounts. The accounts and actors spilled out across over 50 platforms beyond Meta's properties, with activity spotted on X , YouTube, TikTok, Reddit, Pinterest, Medium, Blogspot, LiveJournal, Vimeo, Russian social media service VKontakte, and dozens of smaller online forums.

Meta tied this campaign to a group known as Spamouflage, aka Dragonbridge, that's been linked to Chinese law enforcement agencies.
