Twitter and Meta have removed from their platforms an online propaganda campaign aimed at promoting US interests abroad, researchers say.
This is the first major covert pro-US propaganda operation taken down by the tech giants, says a report by social media analytics firm Graphika and the Stanford Internet Observatory (SIO).
They removed dozens of accounts used in the campaign in July and August.
It is not clear who is behind the propaganda operation.
The researchers say Twitter has identified the US and the UK as the "presumptive countries of origin", while Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, said the US was "the country of origin".
