Here is the original report from Meta - https://www.politico.eu/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/29/NEAR-F...

I personally think HN might have been targeted (though Meta isn't announcing the smaller forums).

I've been cross-referencing splices of some of the talking points mentioned within the document and cross comparing with post history over the past 5 years, and there does seem to be some artificial conversations by low karma (sub-500) accounts, as well as by some higher karma accounts.

In fact, one example Meta found was posted ALMOST WORD FOR WORD TWO TIMES on HN - "The Diplomat Magazine Exposed Yan Limeng and Guo Wengui"

@Dang you should potentially look into this, or maybe considering changing certain norms and rules about discussions in HN.
