Romanian presidential election: It's not all about TikTok. We've uncovered over 4k political ads on Meta's platforms. They were run from 25 facebook pages tied to a network of websites pushing unverified claims. The coordinated campaign is designed to push far-right candidates.

»Operation Overload«: Vermeintlich stammten die vielen E-Mails von besorgten Bürgern, tatsächlich wohl von Russen: Mit Lügen über Kamala #Harris haben sie offenbar versucht, Faktenprüfer in den vergangenen Wochen zu überlasten. https://t.co/Dt63pvw4jm

🚨 Operation Overload: Disinformazione sulle elezioni americane
🇺🇸

📍Si tratta di attacchi mirati contro importanti testate giornalistiche americane e internazionali, istituti di ricerca e fact-checkers. La manipolazione delle piattaforme social amplifica narrazioni allineate agli interessi del Cremlino.

The FBI has warned of two fake videos circulating online aimed at casting doubt around the US presidential election.

These videos are v likely part of a wider Russian campaign @Shayan86 and I’ve been tracking for a long time 🧵 https://t.co/MKM1mWO8Gb
