This is the best summary I could come up with:

China is stepping up efforts to manipulate people in other countries on social media, becoming the third most common source of foreign influence operations, behind Russia and Iran, according to Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram.

The campaigns vary widely in how they work, but the focus tends to be on promoting Chinese interests, from defending Beijing’s human rights record to attacking government critics, Nimmo said.

“It’s unclear whether this approach was designed to amplify partisan tensions, build audiences among these politicians’ supporters, or to make fake accounts sharing authentic content appear more genuine,” Meta said in its report.

They posted about regional news, sports and culture, criticized the Dalai Lama and accused the Indian government of corruption while praising India’s army, athletes and scientific achievement.

With a slew of elections on tap in 2024, including in the U.S., Taiwan, India and the European Union, Chinese operations may “pivot” to target discussions of relations with China in those places, Nimmo said.

Russia, which Meta says remains the most prolific source of coordinated influence operations, has mainly been focused on undermining international support for Ukraine since its February 2022 invasion of that country.

Why would Meta say this out loud? To distract that they’re a part of it?

I’ve noticed any political content is being trolled extremely hard on Tiktok. My pro NATO comments were removed couple of times but restored on appeal.

Meta’s like, “Hey, That’s our job!”

I’m utterly floored by the lack of self awareness from Meta.
