Cyabra Helped the U.S. State Department to Identify Fake Discourse and Foreign Influence

Cyabra discovered that 33% of the profiles in the discourse were fake.

Cyabra scanned over 30,000 profiles that participated in conversations on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook, and discovered that 33% of them were fake, promoting content trying to sway public opinion on China-related issues. Connections were found between Chinese official accounts and fake communities, each amplifying different agendas.
Overall, 40% of the content in the discourse was fake. Some of the fake communities engaged solely with American profiles, actively discrediting criticism of the Chinese government.
