The Department of Justice (DOJ) has discovered that a Russian bot farm, with over 900 AI-generated fake social media accounts, has been spreading propaganda and disinformation around the US and other countries.
Most of the AI-generated fake profiles look like they belong to American citizens, with biographical information, political ideologies, locations, personas, backstories, photos, friends, and families, and have been posting videos, content, and images to support Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and other pro-Kremlin initiatives. One of these fake profiles professed to be a Bitcoin enthusiast and a free speech absolutist, from Minneapolis, who was opposed to the New World Order.
The DOJ has confirmed that an ‘unnamed’ RT (Russia’s state-owned media outlet) editor was responsible for the bot farm after RT leadership approved plans to “distribute information on a wide-scale basis.”
The ‘unnamed’ RT editor bought two domain names that they then used to create two email servers which were then used to create 968 email addresses, which were then used to create fake social media accounts. AI-enabled bot farm generation and management software–Meliorator–was used to generate the images, videos, and personas for each of the 968 profiles. Most of these profiles were generated on X (formerly Twitter) as security restrictions can be more easily bypassed, using specific software.
Although X has since suspended the fake accounts for terms of service violations, it’s not known how many people followed them or integrated with their content, so investigations will continue.
Thank you, Jim.
Start keeping a log of which accounts post material from the Big Three among the Russian “news sources”, Sputnik, TASS, & RT. Just for starters. It’s a very small number.
Did somebody shoot at President Trump tonight or are you also unsure about that because you can’t trust any media reports?
Get lost. You and your Ukraine nationalism. You’re as bad as them with your hateful garbage.
No. This Russian-inspired BS has to be fisked.
“No. This Russian-inspired BS has to be fisked.”
Yes, and the crap from the other side. Your hateful posts for starters.
What’s hateful about posting true facts about Russia and Ukraine?
“What’s hateful about posting true facts about Russia and Ukraine?”
You know what I meant. Your smearing people you disagree with you as Putin Lovers or Russian stooges and all that.
Got it.
What’s your problem ? Get a grip on yourself. I didn’t say any of those thing so step off.
And I didn’t call anybody a stooge, either.
I'm not going to believe whomever the mockingbirds identify as the shooter. Their social media is being scrubbed if they were a leftist or tranny, and if it was a chinese male of military age and training who just strolled across our southern border, well, we will never be told. We will not be told why the SS failed to secure the roof, nor why the spotter and sniper waited until the assassin got off a shot for them to shoot back.
