The motive of such campaigns, Innes said, is to “destabilize” Russia’s Western antagonists and “undermine trust” in their institutions. The pattern of behavior was one his team recognized from a group of Russian actors his team had studied before. It is a commercial firm contracted to run disinformation campaigns, Innes said. Aaron Chown/Press Association/APMeta said it disrupted the group, but its disinformation campaigns have since grown more sophisticated. The timing of the Kate conspiracies was also propitious for the Kremlin – coming just as Putin secured a fifth term in power in a stage-managed election devoid of credible opposition.

Hong Kong CNN —Across the United States, more than 150 million people are being faced with the possibility of a new reality: life without TikTok. In Hong Kong, there’s no need to imagine that reality: TikTok discontinued its services there in 2020. Lost opportunitiesTikTok announced its exit from Hong Kong in July 2020, a week after China imposed a controversial national security law in the city. At the time, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts had yet to arrive in Hong Kong.

Mi-amintesc că venirea mea a coincis cu aniversarea unui an a televiziunii. — Nici nu a fost nevoie să spun „Da!”, pentru că atunci când mi s-a propus să prezint propriul buletin de știri, bucuria mi se citea pe față. — Dacă ar fi să faci o comparație între munca depusă în studio și cea din teren, care dintre acestea te solicită cel mai mult? Nu vreau să renunț la reporterie, pentru că doar așa pot ține mâna pe pulsul zilei, sunt la curent cu realitatea și o pot transmite, așa cum este ea, dincolo de ecrane. A fost o experiență extrem de dificilă, pentru că niciodată nu am simțit moartea atât de aproape.
