The CTIN Team has recently been tracking a series of social media influence operations operatives that are currently targeting the US 2020 Election cycle with automated social media posts on numerous platforms including, but not limited to:

  • Facebook
  • Twitter
  • Instagram
  • YouTube

Exercise caution with all of your participation on these platforms.  If the text you are reading appears to be outlandish and aimed at an immediate emotional response, step back and think about it before you re-post.

We all have to take responsibility for taking back our democracy.  Influence operations will only work if we let them!
