Disinformation peddlers who usually make direct, clear, and easy-to-understand claims, are now getting creative at avoiding Meta’s regulations.
Samaniego used the term “vestsin” to refer to vaccines and also the term “Disinformation peddlers also use code words to refer to key health officials and other well-known individuals whom they talk about in their posts.
Agno, Samaniego, and JIL Review TV didn’t use the code words every time they referred to the objects and individuals in their videos. However, Rappler noticed that the codes were used regularly in Agno’s vlogs. Agno usually mentioned these code words verbally in her videos but she also used them in the captions and in comments she put in her videos from time to time.Rappler noticed that Facebook users who post product claims are now more vague.
Misspellings and codewords are difficult to spot and detect. They do not appear in a simple search for similar claims. Content that use these techniques can only be found if one knows the bad actors who used them and how they exactly misspelled the words or used specific code words. Vague claims allow bad actors to indirectly spread false claims without actually saying them. In the process, they evade Meta’s rules.
To Meta, bad actors will always try to change tactics to evade detection, which is why their efforts are concentrated on improving their ways to detect these changes.
