    “We disrupted influence campaigns the CCP doesn’t sanction so they don’t conflict with CCP sanctioned influence campaigns”

      Nah, if they were driven to this by the CCP they would have disrupted more than 15.

        Yeah they self report on all the campaigns they disrupt- not just the ones they want you to know about ;)

          I mean, they’re still failing to hide it even in what they did publish. According to the article, of like 3000 banned accounts, only 16 were from China.

          I’m more just shocked that they’d even make an announcement for only blocking 15 campaigns. You’d think they’d at least try and inflate the number so it seems like they’re doing something.
