Description

The Chinese disinformation network known as Spamouflage has never gotten
much traction on social media. Then, a small number of accounts started
pretending to be American. On POLITICO Tech, senior analyst Elise Thomas
from the Institute for Strategic Dialogue explains why pro-Trump and
anti-Biden tweets from a group with ties to the Chinese Communist Party
may signal deeper concerns about 2024 election interference.
