Researchers with Google say they uncovered and shut down a number of
government disinformation campaigns.

The team at the Google Threat Analysis Group (TAG) reported shutting down
multiple accounts across its services that were targeting both their
domestic and foreign governments seeking to influence public opinion.

The report, which covers the Q2 period, detailed account takedowns it made
around disinformation and fraud campaigns. It also acts as something of a
"canary" report which allows the TAG team to indirectly hint at larger
efforts by oppressive governments to manipulate their populations via social
media.

Among the most prolific violators was Indonesia, which logged two instances
in which a total of 39 accounts were shut down for posting misinformation on
behalf of the country’s ruling party.
