I 'member but the Chinese and Islamic bot farms have overtaken /pol/ so your thread is going to die.
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.
