In an 89-page complaint, the Department of Justice (Ministry of Justice) from USA accused the Chinese government of using farms bots attack dissidents in a North American country.

According to the report, the working group of the Special Project 912 China led this decades-long campaign to persecute critics of the Xi Jinping regime and discredit US policy.

Case

The complaint states that the task force, which is part of the Homeland Security Agency Chinacreated thousands of fake profiles for this job on networks such as Twitter and Facebook.

Judging by the screenshots, users had no more than a dozen accounts, but attempts to impersonate Americans were common. Profiles have been named, for example, Susan Miller or Julie Torres.

According to the Department of Justice, Ministry of Public Security China it tracked the performance of the agents involved in the operation and rewarded those who successfully executed multiple people online without being detected by Twitter and Facebook.

“The PRC government is said to be using its national police force and the Special Project 912 Task Force not as a tool to enforce the law and protect public safety, but as a farm bots who attacks people in our country for exercising freedom of expression, which is unacceptable to the PRC government, and who also spreads propaganda whose sole purpose is to sow discord within USAUS Attorney Breon Peace said.

Attack from Russia

In addition, by studying the “tactics used by Russia”, the group sought to discredit the US government with domestic issues.

For example, he spread misinformation about the death of George Floyd to create discord among real users who interacted with his comments.

The group also stepped up Russian propaganda about the invasion of Ukraine. To date, 34 agents in charge are on the run.
