Wikipedia wars could affect everyone. Wiki text is used to pre-train AI models such as GPT-3, BERT, Turing-NLG etc. These algorithms influence search engines like Google/Bing and may reflect the biases and disinformation found in Wikipedia articles. https://t.co/tAcTk8llYi

🆕 Our latest report uncovers a new Russian operation targeting U.S. far right communities on alternative social media platforms.

This work builds on our previous investigations on foreign interference efforts in the U.S. 2020 election, and is linked to the "NAEBC" campaign.

Twitter suspended 3500 accounts in the wake of the CIA intelligence report. That's roughly how many I counted

@DanNovack @praddenkeefe This is incredible.

[Ira Hubert @irahubert1]

Check out our new @Graphika_NYC report on pro-China op Spamouflage Dragon.

The network's spammy, but prolific across social media platforms, and getting increased traction.

Big thanks to co-authors @benimmo and Yang Cheng for making this happen.

Great report by @satariano on a fake network that @Graphika_NYC (and others) found in December.

Twitter accounts with GAN faces, boosting Huawei, boosted by Huawei execs, and attacking Belgium's 5G policies.

Not enough evidence to prove who ran them.
