Graphika Report: The IRACopyPasta Campaign
On October 21, 2019, Facebook announced the takedown of 50 Instagram accounts posting about US social and political issues and the 2020 election. Facebook concluded that the operation “originated from Russia” and “showed some links to the Internet Research Agency (IRA)”, the Russian “troll farm” that previously targeted US audiences and the United States presidential election in 2016.
Earlier today, Facebook announced its takedown of a Russian operation targeting the 2020 elections. The social media platform partnered with Graphika for an in-depth analysis of that campaign. Our complete report is available to read and download here: www.graphika.com/copypasta.
