如何判断你是否陷入了美国网络战?如果你遇到这样的账号......

美国是你以为的那样吗?好多事连起来看,总是会有惊人的发现。中国日报新媒体《全球传真》栏目推出系列报道“美国透视”,为全球观众呈现更为立体全面的美国。系列报道播发以来,舆论反响热烈,在国内外社交平台引起大量讨论。
In August 2022, Stanford University released a report titled "Unheard Voice: Evaluating Five Years of Pro-Western Covert Influence Operations," showing how bot accounts on social media applaud the US government while discrediting countries such as China, Russia and Iran.
Meanwhile, in December 2022, another investigation uncovered that social media companies including Twitter have been secretly aiding the US Department of Defense with fake accounts to run its online propaganda campaigns and spread disinformation in the Middle East among other regions.
These investigative reports have put the US online-influence warfare under the spotlight. By damaging other countries through social media, the US has turned public opinion into a secret weapon to wage war and incite revolutions.
2013年12月,美国参议员约翰·麦凯恩在基辅向乌克兰抗议者发表讲话。他说:
“美国与你们同在,我与你们同在。”
"America is with you. I am with you."
在众多国家和地区的暴乱活动背后都发现了美国网络信息战的身影,例如之前发生在中国香港的暴乱活动,示威活动头目都与美国有着紧密的联系。他们利用社交媒体散播的虚假信息和仇恨言论。例如,香港《苹果日报》抹黑香港警察、美化暴力行径、煽动社会情绪,而它的幕后老板黎智英曾在华盛顿会见美国国家安全团队成员,其中就有博尔顿。
美国前总统国家安全事务助理博尔顿说:
“作为一个曾经帮助策划政变的人,不是在这里(美国),而是在其他地方,这需要做大量工作。”
"As someone who has planned a coup d'etat, not here but you know, other places, it takes a lot of work."
在俄乌冲突爆发初期,有美国政客在媒体鼓动黑客对俄罗斯开展网络信息战,用来煽动俄罗斯国内的抗议活动。
美国前国务卿希拉里·克林顿说:
“(黑客)可以通过网络来支持人们在俄罗斯街头(抗议),我们在“阿拉伯之春”的时候就是这么干的。当时我是美国国务卿,我想我们还可以攻击(俄罗斯)政府机构的网络。”
"…could be engaged in cyber support for those in the streets in Russia. We did some of that during the Arab Spring when I was the Secretary of State. I think we could be also attacking a lot of the (Russian) government institutions."
美国通过社交媒体传播虚假信息,抹黑其他国家形象,维护美国利益的手段已经被越来越多的人所识破,这只会加速美国霸权的衰落,让美国的信誉破产。
