A sprawling disinformation network originating in Russia sought to use hundreds of fake social media accounts and dozens of sham news websites to spread the Kremlin’s talking points about the invasion of Ukraine, Facebook parent company Meta said Tuesday.
The company, which also owns Instagram, said it identified and disabled the operation before it was able to gain a large audience. Nonetheless, Facebook said it was the largest and most complex Russian propaganda effort that it has found since the invasion began.
The operation involved more than 60 websites created to mimic legitimate news sites including the Guardian newspaper in Britain and Germany’s Der Spiegel.

More than 1,600 fake Facebook accounts were used to spread the propaganda to audiences in Germany, Italy, France, Britain and Ukraine.

I see the eastern European propagandists have clocked in for their shift.
There goes the news feed. 🙄
Don’t forget the biggest one: Zelenskyy is a “homo.”
I wonder if they are disabling anti-Russia propaganda. i.e. are they taking sides?
The last few days I also notice that if you respond to one of them then you get a chorus of responses from that group.
Some years ago a FReeper posted about “The Delphi Technique” which is a way of making a minority look like a majority and it was supposed to be a warning and not a How-To manual.
All anti-American, antiChristian, antiWhite is fine.
That’s paranoid.
That’s one of the canned responses you people learn in Troll School.
It’s worn out. Get some new material.
Is Canada giving Ukraine billions in funding while their own citizens are dealing with economic downturn and inflation too?
In a couple of weeks you will swear you can’t recall posting anything from the AP or the latimes. Straight from clown world.
That would be the Neville Chamberlain Contingent.
That’s one of the canned responses you people learn in Troll School.Actually, this is paranoid:
It’s worn out. Get some new material.
I see the eastern European propagandists have clocked in for their shift.Exactly who are these "eastern European propagandists"... who... "have clocked in for their shift"?
Put some ice on your prior butt-hurt.
They’re probably in the room with you, bratwurst-breath.
“Probably”... you walked back your paranoia.
Baby steps...
The Russian propaganda on Free Republic is pretty weak sauce in comparison to the pro-war with Russia propaganda being spammed to Free Republic:

Yeah, their latest tactic is to spam the Ukraine War threads with their ridiculous pro-Kremlin random blogs and Youtube videos, just to ruin the threads. It’s pure vandalism.
