'It is a bit ironic that something like this would happen to me,' he said.
Luka Ivezic — a 24-year-old Croatia-born student studying misinformation at King's College London — learned that Twitter had designated and subsequently suspended his account as being part of a Chinese propaganda campaign. Ivezic said he has never been to China.
Ivezic recently completed his thesis on:"Disinformation, and how artificial intelligence can empower the tools that China and Russia have to misinform us."on Monday that they had detected a social media propaganda campaign from China targeting protesters in Hong Kong. Twitter said that the evidence pointed towards a"state-backed operation," so it removed 936 accounts, and suspended more than 200,000 others.
According to documents released by Twitter on Monday, four of Ivezic's tweets were flagged, all of which discussed Artificial Intelligence, bitcoin and other related tech subjects. Ivezic said on Wednesday that he had posted all the tweets himself. "After further investigation with our team, we've confirmed [the account was] compromised and tied to the disinformation network noted in yesterday's disclosure," said a spokesperson on Wednesday.
