Two members of the House Intelligence Committee are asking for information on who is behind false social media campaigns.
WASHINGTON — Two members of the House Intelligence Committee are asking the CIA and the FBI for any information their agencies have about the spread of false information campaigns meant to magnify and invoke fear about activities of left-wing protest groups like antifa.
"I’m concerned about any influence campaigns on the web but also on social media to the extent that there’s false information or there’s information you don’t know the identity of the people promulgating it. And in this case you might have both,” Krishnamoorthi said in an interview with NBC News. “The identity could very well be foreign actors, they could be domestic or they could be both.”
