Case Study: Troll Network Connected To Guo And Bannon Targets US Election

Alethea identified a large network of social media accounts we assess may be linked to Chinese billionaire Guo Wengui and Steve Bannon, as described in a recent New York Times article. We discovered these accounts operating on mainstream social media platforms, such as YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, and Reddit, but also on fringe platforms that promote themselves as platforms for the right, such as Gab and Parler. We also found one post from this network on Russia’s VK and another on China’s Weibo.
