2. The sites we identified have similar technical infrastructure and design. They prompt visitors to turn over personal info, such as email address and credit card info, and are filled with digital trackers that collect data on visitors. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2020/08/11/evans-disinformation-florida-email/">https://www.washingtonpost.com/technolog...
3. One of the sites sells a Trump coin for which you must enter your email address and credit card info to not miss out on the supposed “special offer.” But the site lists a company and a CEO that doesn’t exist, including a stock image photo of the CEO. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2020/08/11/evans-disinformation-florida-email/">https://www.washingtonpost.com/technolog...
6. These sites are just a drop in the bucket. As I say in the article: “Pairing collected data with things like skip tracing software and bulk messaging apps — it’s where a lot of these networks are headed...It is the future of political disinformation.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2020/08/11/evans-disinformation-florida-email/">https://www.washingtonpost.com/technolog...
