Disinformation campaign The campaign primarily relied on ‘dead media, dead think-tanks and NGOs’, and in a few instances, ‘dead people’ Editorial December 12, 2020 A staggering report by a well-reputed European non-profit has uncovered a vast influence and disinformation campaign working to promote Indian interests and harm the country's opponents. Chief among these opponents is Pakistan, with China appearing in a distant second. The NGO — EU DisinfoLab — could not confirm the extent of the involvement of India's government or intelligence agencies, but the investigation was still eye-catching. The campaign primarily relied on "dead media, dead think-tanks and NGOs", and in a few instances, "dead people". This investigation is actually a follow-up to a report they put out last year, which noted that a New Delhi-based company called Srivastava Group was operating a network of about 265 fake local news sites in over 65 countries.
