Meta said on Tuesday it had uncovered links between people associated with Chinese law enforcement and a long-running but largely ineffectual operation to positively influence people on social media about China. The social media giant removed around 7,700 Facebook accounts and hundreds of other pages, groups and Instagram accounts connected to the so-called «Spamouflage» campaign, elements of which have been active since 2018, it said in a quarterly security report. The «Spamouflage» network has engaged in spurts of activity over the last several years pushing positive narratives about China and negative commentary about the United States, Western foreign policies and critics of the Chinese government. With the latest activity detected, Meta executives said they believed that «Spamouflage» had become the largest known cross-platform influence operation to date, with a presence on at least 50 services.

China's foreign ministry said it was not aware of the findings, but added that individuals and institutions have often launched campaigns against China on social media platforms. «We hope that the relevant company adheres to the principle of objectivity and impartiality, and avoids double standards.
