Everyone needs to understand how sophisticated Russian influence operations are. This is all from their own internal documents during operation doppelganger leading up to the 2024 election

Submission statement: I’m losing my fucking mind reading through the operation doppelganger documents and seeing how open all of this shit is while nobody cares and I need other people to share my misery with me. More people should understand how these influence campaigns work, and why this information asymmetry is disastrous to the survival of democracy. I unironically do not think democracy can survive this.

You can see their internal communications in the court documents here: [https://www.justice.gov/opa/media/1366261/dl](https://www.justice.gov/opa/media/1366261/dl)
If you want an overview of what operation doppelganger was:

These aren’t “internal” documents though, you can tell in the first paragraph that these were written and approved specifically for public release
