The Canadian Centre for Cyber Security said individuals affiliated with RT have been using a social-media bot farm at the direction of the Russian government.
Officials said fake social-media users were created to spread disinformation in the United States and abroad.
When asked to comment on the claims, the RT press office said: “Farming is a beloved pastime for millions of Russians.” Last month, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg cautioned during a visit to Canada that disinformation is a threat to the defensive alliance and its efforts to arm Ukraine against Russia’s invasion.“Disinformation is a big challenge because we see that Russia is fueling disinformation in many ways. We also see China is doing that,” Stoltenberg told The Canadian Press.
“As the Russian government continues to wage its brutal war in Ukraine and threatens democracies around the world, the Justice Department will continue to deploy all of our legal authorities to counter Russian aggression and protect the American people,” said U.S. Attorney General Merrick B. Garland in a statement.
