Two years we published the "Global Disinformation Operation", an operation attributed by us to Iran, and spread fake news worldwide.

Facebook, Twitter, and Google team up with the FBI to seize the domains of anti-Saudi, anti-Israeli, and pro-Palestinian websites. Is there some Middle-East-Foreign-Policy exception to the first amendment that I don't know about? https://t.co/RL7TueI3V7

Some old friends in the list, notably the IUVM network, which basically repackaged Iranian state messaging.
Not subtle, but prolific. https://t.co/6JWUPVa7cz

DoJ seized 92 domains linked to Iranian state IOs - the domains "targeted audiences in Western Europe, the Middle East, & South East Asia & masqueraded as genuine news outlets while actually being operated by the IRGC to spread pro-Iranian disinformation" https://t.co/vaVk2ySnnl

DOJ has seized a bunch of websites it claims were spreading disinfo put out by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. I still have significant concerns about the government's authority to "seize" websites. Seems equivalent to seizing printing presses. https://t.co/cqs6vpGhXN
