US alleges China created troll army that tried to have dissidents booted from Zoom
The United States Department of Justice has charged 44 people over schemes prosecutors allege were run by China’s National Police to silence opponents of the Communist Party of China.
That allegation has produced two cases, United States v. Yunpeng Bai, et al. and United States v. Julien Jin, et al. Monday’s lawsuit goes further, alleging Jin “worked to identify all accounts associated with the dissident, caused meetings related to the dissident to be hosted in a ‘quarantine zone’ – that is, on a server with known lags in response time – and later worked to block all accounts associated with the dissident.”
United States v. Yunpeng Bai, et al. concerns the activities of 34 MPS officers who allegedly worked for an entity called the “912 Special Project Working Group” formed to “target Chinese dissidents located throughout the world.”
