Meta Platforms has said it disrupted the first known China-based influence operation focused on targeting users in the United States with political content in advance of the midterm elections in November.The network maintained fake accounts across Meta’s social media platforms Facebook and Instagram, as well as competitor service Twitter, but was small and did not attract much of a following, Meta said on Tuesday in a report summarising its findings.Still, the report noted, the discovery was significant because it suggested a shift towards more direct interference in US domestic politics compared with previous known Chinese propaganda efforts.
