  • We disabled 3 AdSense accounts and blocked 12 domains from eligibility to appear on Google News surfaces and Discover as part of our investigation into coordinated influence operations linked to Slovakia. The campaigns were sharing content in Slovak, Czech and English supportive of Russia and critical of the West.
  • We terminated 22 YouTube channels as part of our investigation into coordinated influence operations linked to Uzbekistan. The campaign was sharing content in Uzbeki language that was supportive of Uzbekistan President Shavkat Mirziyoyev.
  • We terminated 2 Youtube channels, disabled 2 AdSense Accounts, and blocked 19 domains from eligibility to appear on Google News surfaces and Discover as part of our investigation into coordinated influence operations linked to Togo and Burkina Faso. Our findings are similar to findings reported by Meta.
  • We terminated 7,467 YouTube channels and 183 Blogger blogs as part of our ongoing investigation into coordinated influence operations linked to the People’s Republic of China (PRC). These channels mostly uploaded spammy content in Chinese about music, entertainment and lifestyle. A very small subset uploaded content in Chinese and English about China and U.S. foreign affairs. These findings are consistent with our previous reports.
