It's Asian-ish, yes. You've been here longer than me.

In my world, the Chinese I know have American names. :dunno:

The 1st names are American. One dude I'm thinking of is slipping through, though.

Okay, it was a girly friend of mine's cousin, he ended up hanging with the fellers bigtime..

Da fuq was his name? I can still remember his face and his house and..damnit!

Man! We had some fun for sure! I know her name right off, but wtf was his name?

Last name = Nguyen..that's like "Smith" in Chinese. :laugh:

I'm tempted to call her and ask her cousin's name. :palm:

Coincidence?

News Corp Faces Cyberattack Believed to be Linked to China

News Corp said it notified law enforcement and hired cybersecurity firm Mandiant Inc. to support an investigation. A representative of the Federal Bureau of Investigation said late Friday that it was aware of the incident.

China’s government has unleashed a global online campaign to burnish its image and undercut accusations of human rights abuses, among other aims.

Much of the effort takes place in the shadows, behind the guise of bot networks that generate automatic posts and hard-to-trace online personas.

Now, a new set of documents reviewed by the failing New York Times reveals in stark detail how Chinese officials tap private businesses to generate content on demand, track critics and provide other services for disinformation campaigns.

That operation increasingly plays out on international platforms which the Chinese government blocks at home.

The documents, which were part of a request for bids from contractors, offer a rare glimpse into how China’s vast bureaucracy works to spread propaganda and to sculpt opinion on global social media.

They were taken offline after the Times contacted the Chinese government about them.

English translation by the failing New York Times from original Chinese document text: "Flood global social media with fake accounts used to advance an authoritarian agenda. Make them look real. Seek out online critics of the state — and find out who they are and where they live."

A notice posted online in May calling for bids from contractors: "Disguise and maintain overseas social media accounts. Suppliers should package a portion of the overseas accounts into a group of premium accounts, that is, accounts that survive for a long period of time, have a certain number of fans, and can be used to promote information. Each month on each platform three accounts must be maintained, and an increase in fans must be guaranteed each month. Note: this project has intermediate time sensitivity. Each week, the number of posts and survival rate of accounts will be calculated. If an account is suspended, it needs to be fixed in a timely fashion.”

The request suggested that officials understood the need for strong engagement with the public through these profiles-for-hire. The deeper engagement lends the fake personas credibility at a time when social media companies are increasingly taking down accounts that seem inauthentic or coordinated.

Bot networks that have been linked to China’s government can be used to troll others...

Because that margot is definitely a paid shill.

Margot is a professional shill. I do like making Swiss Cheese of her bullshit.

She's been on a lot of forums, that's just the 1st one I searched and found multiple posts from her.
