Microsoft revealed on Tuesday that Russian operatives have escalated their online attacks on Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign by spreading videos promoting false conspiracy theories to sow racial and political discord in the US.
One of the fabricated videos falsely depicted Harris supporters assaulting an attendee at a Donald Trump rally, while another baseless claim suggested that Harris was responsible for paralyzing a young girl in a hit-and-run incident in 2011. These videos, viewed by millions, were disseminated through a fake San Francisco media website created by Russian operatives, as reported by Microsoft researchers.
