The Department of Justice recently seized control of two internet domains and searched 968 accounts on social media platform X, which it accused of helping spread disinformation for the Russian government.
The seizures were part of an FBI investigation into an alleged artificial intelligence-enhanced social media bot farm that has created hundreds of fake social media profiles purportedly of U.S. residents, according to a June 27 search warrant affidavit. The affidavit says the accounts promoted messages that support Russian government objectives.
