Plans by Gambashidze’s team refer to using “short-lived” social media accounts aimed at avoiding detection. Social media manipulators have established a technique of using accounts to send out links to material and then deleting their posts or accounts once others have reshared the content. The idea is to obscure the true origin of misleading information and keep the channel open for future influence operations, disinformation researchers said.

Propaganda operatives have used another technique to spread just a web address, rather than the words in a post, to frustrate searches for that material, according to the social media research company Alethea, which called the tactic “writing with invisible ink.” Other obfuscation tricks include redirecting viewers through a series of seemingly random websites until they arrive at a deceptive article.

You see that all the time around here with dodgy pro-Kremlin blogs and vblog sourcing, and supposedly "alternative" news sites, which are generally fake.

If it's up to me and you're posting that kind of link here on FR, I think you should get the zot.

But if you're making an argument that maybe we should pay attention to our borders here in the U.S., that's a legitimate argument.

People can be too obvious when they are making that kind of post (and no, they are not using our alternative media sites like Breitbart).

Kremlin's troll army is effective so far. We haven't passed our bill to give Ukraine the funds they need to reload ammunition for their military.

The Kremlin knows that they just have to outlast the West. And it looks like they may be able to do that.

You never see any of that fake news on a Mom thread. That's 100% genuine propaganda.
