@Twitter has now attributed a pro-Chinese cross-platform operation @BenDoBrown, @O_Rob1nson and I spotted and reported on last month to the Chinese government. We're still waiting for @Facebook and @YouTube to make attributions too as we think this was effectively one network
Read our full report here. Based on Twitter's announcement, the network's turned out to be much bigger than we thought. 23,750 accounts formed the core of it and 150,000 accounts operated as amplifiers. Remember, this was a low impact operation, no panic

Follow this thread by @BenDoBrown where he explains the details and specifics of the Twitter network. We were very careful to avoid making any attributions as this is something only the social networks can do. Over to you YouTube and Facebook
I outlined the details of the networks on Facebook and YouTube in this thread. 53 Facebook pages - with just under 100,000 followers - 61 Facebook accounts, and 187 YouTube channels with around 10,000 subscribers. Both networks relied on spam accounts
The Russian operation had 1,152 accounts and promoted the United Russia party. The Turkish operation was bigger. Some 7,340 accounts which were primarily hacked/compromised to amplify content in favour of President Erdogan's AK Parti 
As usual, Twitter has done something all social media companies should do. It has released the full archive of the content posted by the operations it has just taken down, which can be accessed here

Follow this thread by the great @shelbygrossman for details of the Turkish operation
This @RT_com piece about Twitter's takedowns, particularly the Russian and Chinese operations, is quite fascinating
I was on @BBCNewshour to talk about the Chinese operation, its size and the type of content it pushed on Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. I'm on at 14:05
