US voters targeted by Chinese influence online, researchers say
A Chinese social media influence operation, known as 'Spamouflage,' is impersonating U.S. voters and spreading divisive messages ahead of the Nov. 5 presidential election. Research by Graphika reveals that this campaign targets both sides of the political spectrum to amplify criticisms of American society and government. The U.S. government is investigating these foreign efforts to interfere in the election.
