Information Operations, Then and Now
This week on Arbiters of Truth, our podcast on our online information ecosystem, Evelyn Douek and Quinta Jurecic spoke with Camille Fran\xe7ois, the chief innovation officer at Graphika, about a new report released by her team earlier this month on an apparent Russian influence operation aimed at so-called \u201calt-tech\u201d platforms, like Gab and Parler. A group linked to the Russian Internet Research Agency \u201ctroll farm\u201d has been posting far-right memes and content on these platforms over the last year. But how effective has their effort really been? What does the relatively small scale of the operation tell us about how foreign interference has changed in the last four years? Has the media\u2019s\u2014and the public\u2019s\u2014understanding of information operations caught up to that changing picture?
