A recent US intelligence report revealed that Russian, Chinese, and Cuban operatives have been spreading misinformation about the US government's hurricane relief efforts following Hurricanes Helene and Milton. The report cited various instances of false information being disseminated on social media platforms.
According to the report, a China-linked social media account shared an AI-generated image of Vice President Kamala Harris alongside misleading claims about US funds being allocated to other countries instead of hurricane relief. Similarly, a Russian state-owned news agency posted a fabricated image of a flooded Disney World, along with other provocative content suggesting the denial of disaster-relief funds by the US government.
