Anti-Western propaganda in the social network - 34 Facebook pages have been identified that are connected to the "Alt-Info" platform and are engaged in anti-Western propaganda. Of these 34 pages, 12 are open and 22 are covertly connected to the anti-Western propaganda platform.
ISFED monitored social media to identify pages linked to Alt Info and groups where materials are distributed in a coordinated manner.
The NGO thinks that the main problem is the dissemination of information in non-thematic groups because the user does not realize that he is dealing with propaganda.
Alt-Info materials were distributed in an organized manner in 25 different Facebook groups. "Radical, anti-liberal organizations and groups that spread anti-Western propaganda under the same scheme were spreading their program, where the main ideologue of the Kremlin's expansionist policy, Dugin, was invited," said Mikheil Benidze, an ISFED representative.
Alt-Info has a total of 365,549 subscribers to 22 secretly distributed pages, while 15 officially operating pages have 157,640 subscribers. A total of 169,734 users are members of the 7 closely coordinated groups, while the other 18 groups have a total of 777,679 members..
