国际社交媒体巨头脸书和推特,在昨日各别发表声明,指他们移除和暂停被怀疑“有国家支持”、针对近期香港反送中示威的假账号。

推特在昨日的声明中表示,“披露明显由国家支持、针对香港示威和政治改革呼吁的信息行动”。

推特指他们已暂停了936个疑似是政府支持的在中国境内建立的推特账号。

“整体上,这些账号蓄意和试图在香港散播政治不和,包括诋毁当地抗议行动的合法和政治立场。据我们深入调查,我们有可靠的证据,证实这是有国家支持的行动。特别是我们发现有大型的账户群体,有协调地放大有关香港示威的信息。”

中国境内无法登入推特,故此许多账号都是“翻墙”链接。不过推特指昨日声明中仅公开最为活跃的账号,还有多达20万个“垃圾账号”,在活跃前即被暂停使用。

至于脸书则指出,删除了七个脸书专页、三个群组和五个脸书账号。他们被指是“源自中国的小型网络群组,针对香港进行协同造谣行为( coordinated inauthentic behavior)”。

脸书特推特都表示将持续监控事态,发现有违规行为将继续采取措施,避免该社交媒体平台被用来操纵群众舆论。
