It's been pretty wild to see how people are now using my images to support speculations about voting fraud.

Interior of a Click Farm, 2023

[Andreas Harsono @andreasharsono]

Click farms have exploded in number particularly in Asia, where they can be found across India, Bangladesh, Indonesia, the Philippines and beyond. Regulations have often failed to keep pace https://t.co/mR66HupMuK

[Andreas Harsono @andreasharsono]

The click farms in Hanoi that Jack Latham documented operated from residential properties and hotels. They hire low-paid workers to cultivate likes, comments and shares for businesses and individuals globally https://t.co/mR66HupMuK

[Andreas Harsono @andreasharsono]

A British photographer spent a month in Hanoi, documenting shadowy enterprises that help clients artificially boost online traffic and social media engagement in the hope of manipulating algorithms and user perceptions. It's called "click farms" https://t.co/mR66HupMuK

[Bibek Bhandari @bibekbhandari]

For @CNNStyle, I spoke with British photographer Jack Latham on Vietnam's click farms, which he says are "like Silicon Valley startups."

Thanks to @oscarholland for commissioning + editing this story.

“The spreading of disinformation is the worst thing. It happens in your pocket, not newspapers, and it’s terrifying that it’s tailored to your kind of neurosis.”

I spoke to @JackLatham about click farms and algorithms
