Chinese disinformation
Twitter has removed over 170,000 China-linked accounts that have been spreading disinformation about Hong Kong, Taiwan and China's response to the coronavirus outbreak. Security analysts say Beijing's online disinformation tactics are starting to resemble those of Moscow. Twitter said the accounts "were largely caught early and failed to achieve considerable traction on the service, typically holding low follower accounts and low engagement." China's response? It said Twitter should remove accounts that smear China. CNBC
