Meta cracked down on propaganda campaigns using AI to influence political discourse, uncovering networks from countries like Israel, Iran, China, Bangladesh, and Croatia.
Some networks used fake accounts to post in support of political movements, promote fake news outlets, or comment on the posts of legitimate news organizations, like the China-originated campaign targeting global Sikh communities.
Campaigns from Israel and China utilized generative AI tools, sharing AI-generated images and comments, but Meta stated that AI-powered influence campaigns are not sophisticated enough to evade detection systems.
TikTok also uncovered and disrupted propaganda networks on its platform, including one linked to China, reflecting the ongoing challenge of identifying and combating influence campaigns on social media.
