🧵 Operation Overload: A Case of Coordinated Inauthentic Behavior Designed to Waste Time

Some disinfo campaigns aren’t built to convince the public.

They’re built to overload journalists, distract fact-checkers, and dilute verification capacity.

This one did all three.

Regeringen, og PET & FET bør støtte danske virksomheder, som Netcompany, i stedet for at give vores kr & data til #Palantir & #USA. Så hellere #VeraAI under 🇩🇰 & 🇪🇺 lovgivning, og på servere der ikke er ejet af en fremmed magt.

A campaign built not to persuade the public, but to waste the time of those who defend the truth.
