At the time Facebook made a rare but general attribution for this fakery to "foreign content mills" because reporters started asking them about foreign interference in the Canadian convoy protests. www.nbcnews.com/tech/interne... highlighted "researchers" 👋 it me.
Quotes from Dr. Joan Donovan, former director of TASC and my former boss, discussing my yet-to-be published research, as it was happening in 2022. Highlighted: Researchers at Harvard University’s Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy first noted that large pro-Trump groups had been changing their names to go with convoy-related themes earlier this week. Text from the rest of screenshot: Grid News reported on Friday that one major trucker convoy Facebook group was being run by a Bangladesh content farm. Many of the groups have changed names multiple times, going from those that tap hot-button political issues such as support for former President Donald Trump or opposition to vaccine mandates, to names with keywords like “trucker,” “freedom” and “convoy.” Facebook allows groups on its platforms to change names but tracks the changes in each page’s “about” section. The motivations of the people behind the content mills are not clear, but Joan Donovan, director of the Shorenstein Center, said the pattern fits existing efforts to make money off U.S. political divisions. “In some ways, it’s normal political activity,” Donovan said. “In other ways, we have to look at how some of the engagement online is fake but can be a way to mobilize more people.” “When we see really effective disinformation campaigns, it’s when the financial and political motives align,” she added.

Aside from the tech oligarchs, these are the governments who actively backed Trump's grab for power, either overtly or covertly, through financing, disinformation, troll farms:

Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Israel, Argentina, and India
