Twitter searches for China protests bombarded by spam and porn, raising alarms among researchers | CNN Business

Beginning late last week and into Monday, searches in Chinese for major protest hotspots, including Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing, and Guangzhou, produced a nonstop stream of solicitations, images of scantily clad women in suggestive poses and seemingly random word- and sentence fragments. Many of the tweets reviewed by CNN on Monday came from accounts that had been created months ago, follow virtually no other accounts and have no followers of their own.

Twitter is officially blocked in China, but estimates of the number of Twitter users in China have ranged between 3 million and 10 million. On Sunday evening, Alex Stamos, director of the Stanford Internet Observatory and a disinformation researcher, elevated an independent researcher’s findings that Stamos said “points to this being an intentional attack to throw up informational chaff and reduce external visibility into protests in China.

I would venture to say that is a typo, it should read 'Democratic leaders have expressed alarm...'. All forms of media have vulnerability to exploitation, they should let people decide for themselves who to listen to.

Musk is from South Africa, right?

elonmusk I have some ideas of how cryptography could play a role in security the United States social media platforms. We haven't tried this yet.

To those US lawmakers: Let us know if it becomes as corrupt and dangerous as Hunter and Joe's vulnerability to foreign exploitation. They have over a decade head start on elonmusk

CNN...the Biden cult grooming chime. Good grief you are so transparent with your lies 🤣 every single one of you at that network are liars.

Interesting. Only now because of Musk.

That’s it that seals the deal ! I’m deleting twitter and downloading TIK Tok where they know how to run a platform and respect your privacy !

I'm OK with foreign information. American has a high propaganda content. The Iran flag sort of thing.

Considering Elon is an immigrant, the United States' best interests means jack shit to him.

CNN is a joke. The old Twitter was infiltrated by political armies of bots from all countries and you didn't say a thing. Also, where is the outrage against TikTok? A literal part of the CCP..
