The networks did not appear to achieve significant engagement from the online public or strong infiltration within American political-activist networks on Twitter the most-engaged tweet had 31,303 engagements, and of the 705,864 tweets spanning the six sets, 592,333 had zero likes. We attempt where possible to conduct our own attribution, but attribution is not always possible using publicly available data. Election Integrity Partnership analysts do not have access to Twitter’s internal technical indicators therefore, we examine the content and behavior of the accounts in the context of prior examinations of attributed-actor tactics, techniques, and procedures. It is important to note that a sophisticated actor may manipulate technical indicators of location to better conceal their true location, and that location is not concrete evidence of state actor involvement. Three of the networks had additional technical indicators suggesting ties to the People’s Republic of China, and the other three had technical indicators suggesting they were located in Iran (with one additionally suggesting Israel). The networks within the dataset were taken down under Twitter’s Platform Manipulation and Spam Policy.Īll six networks were made to appear as if they were operating from within the United States based on user reported location and, according to Twitter, some technical indicators. The sixth focused on a litany of geopolitical issues including the Russia-Ukraine war and America’s foreign policy on China, with some scattered commentary on the midterms. The content put out by five of the six networks focused primarily on US politics, and particularly the midterm elections slated for November 8, 2022. While some of the content posted by these networks and discussed in this blog post would not typically be in scope for the Election Integrity Partnership, commentary alleging election theft and fraud met our threshold for analysis, and for context we included the broader activity of these inauthentic accounts in this analysis. In this post, analysts from the Digital Forensic Research Lab and the Stanford Internet Observatory examine the content and tactics of the networks and their activity related to the US midterms. On October 26, 2022, Twitter released six datasets to the Twitter Moderation Research Consortium, consisting of six distinct inauthentic networks with technical links to China and Iran that had tweeted about the United States’ November 2022 midterm elections. These planning activities are crucial to the success of EarthScope.This Election Integrity Partnership analysis was co-authored by Renee DiResta, Elena Cryst, and Chris Giles (Stanford Internet Observatory), and Alyssa Kann and Gavin Xu (Digital Forensic Research Lab). Coordinate outreach to local governments and the public The SAFOD Project is a component of Phase ! of NSF's EarthScope Initiative which is a component of the MRE request to Congress in the FY 2001 budget. Represent project with federall, state and local agencies 8. Initiate (and follow) environmental impact analysis and site permitting 7. Develop and promote technology development program 6. Define engineering needs for drilling and borehole measurements 5. Convene workshops with SAFOD science team 4. Coordinate site selection studies and integrate data into GIS database 3. Coordinate and plan the overall scientific 2. Such a project will provide fundamental constraints on the structure, composition, mechanical behavior and physical state of an active, major plate-boundary fault. Primary Place of Performance Congressional District:Ġ002680 Zoback This project involves planning and coordination associated with the proposed SAFOD (San Andreas Fault Observatory at Depth) Project, to drill and core deeply into the San Andreas fault zone and conduct a broad range of scientific investigations in and around the drillhole and to utilize the hole for long term monitoring of an active plate boundary fault at depth.
