Facebook parent company Meta has told an Australian government inquiry that Beijing-run disinformation campaigns are rapidly evolving and moving to stir up social disunity in targeted nations.
Under questioning, Meta’s head of Public Policy in Australia, Josh Machin, revealed that 51 percent of the Coordinated Inauthentic Behavior (CIB) networks known by Meta, that originated from China were taken down in the last seven months following an uptick in activity.
