Does /pol/ know about the infestation of Chinese bot farms influencing foreign policy of the west via social media like TikTok, X (Twitter), 4chan etc?

Chinese bot farms are flooding Western social media with fake accounts, pushing narratives to sway foreign policy. These Chinese swarms spread misinfo, amplify division, and target key issues to nudge public opinion in their favor.

Known as "Spamouflage," these networks linked to China's Ministry of Public Security spam out AI-crafted propaganda, from deepfake videos to posts slamming U.S. democracy or stoking election chaos. They’ve targeted U.S. politicians, harassed anyone who don't agree with Chinese propaganda, and even posed as Americans to push anti-West vibes.

It is strange, China and Chinese propaganda rarely gets mentioned here or any other social media platform.

The Chinese bot farms also affected Canada Take the Spamouflage campaign in Canada, for example it pushed wild claims that Hawaii’s wildfires were caused by a secret U.S. military “weather weapon, although it was low engagement but was pushed by Chinese propaganda bots. They made it seem like tons of people back certain policies or candidates, which can sway public opinion and even affect elections. They also spread fake news, ramping up social divides and eroding trust in media and institutions.

Remember all those anti-Tradeu posts allover social media? Yeah

A 2024 report by Google blocked over 10,000 instances of Dragon Bridge (aka Spamouflage Dragon) activity in the first quarter, promoting narratives portraying the U.S. negatively and targeting elections in Taiwan and the Israel-Hamas war.

If you haven't noticed or been through the catalog, it's very difficult and rare to have a meaningful discourse on /pol/ anymore. Here's what agenda bots are doing not only on /pol/ but on various different social media platforms and the biggest one is Chinese bot farm:

1. Flooding with Noise: Trolls spam threads with irrelevant or inflammatory comments to drown out meaningful discussion. This buries legit voices and derails conversations for example /pol/, TikTok & X

2. Impersonation: Using fake accounts, they pose as locals (memeflags etc on /pol/ and fake accounts on TikTok which are set to private, facebook etc) to blend in and push divisive or misleading narratives with credibility.

3. Amplification: Co-ordinate Immediate replies on /pol/ threads made my memeflags or other flags via co-ordination on discord, telegram etc. to boost the thread artifically. Mass-like/ retweet on X etc.

4. Polarization: They post extreme, emotionally charged content to inflame divisions, pitting groups against each other to destabilize unity.

5. Disinfo Spread: Trolls share fabricated stories, deepfakes, or half-truths - example 70% of threads on /pol/

6. Deflection: When challenged, trolls/bots pivot to whataboutism or unrelated hot-button issues to dodge accountability and muddy the waters. Several examples within this thread itself.

There would be more but that's all I can think of now.

Yes.
We closed $50 BILLION / year USAID fund , a huge amount from which would go to propaganda, including spamming 4chan.

Mate it gets mentioned here all the time, everyone is painfully fucking aware of it and chicom propaganda and wumaos are straight up fucking retarded most of the time so it's hilariously obvious.

I've no doubt we do the same embarrassing shit on their social media platforms and fuck knows kikes are doing it 24/7.

All's fair in love and shitposting war.

It is no longer just shitposting but being done by design to weaken the west

No shit, that's the entire point, it's why they do it to us and why we do it to them.

I mean it's good to make people aware of this shit, even if you are probably a fed yourself, but you can't cry in a war when you're shooting another cunt and he's shooting back. That's the point, you shoot each other. You can't sway anyone's opinion by being a hypocrite on the matter, well maybe boomers and normies, but none of the top tier spergs here.

It is genuinely unfortunate that this place has become nigh unusable as it's become a battleground for bots and intelligence agencies though. It's a shithole, but it's the closest thing to actual freedom of speech on the internet.
