Chinese-linked online network is stoking U.S. political divisions: report
Briefly

The recent Graphika report highlights how the Spamouflage campaign has evolved its strategies, now leveraging AI-generated content to influence U.S. political discourse more aggressively.
Since mid-2023, accounts associated with Spamouflage have directly engaged with sensitive electoral topics, criticizing candidates and undermining trust in electoral processes, particularly regarding the 2022 midterms.
The Harlan Report account stands out for its wide-ranging personas, claiming to be dedicated American voters, and has notably amplified pro-Trump narratives, garnering millions of views.
Though initially deemed low impact, the Spamouflage disinformation tactics have shifted to involve more direct manipulation of political narratives in the U.S., especially around key election issues.
