Uncovering Coordinated Cross-Platform Information Operations Threatening the Integrity of the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election Online Discussion

Research conducted in May 2024 identified coordinated information operations (IOs) on the platform \"X\" (formerly Twitter) targeting online discourse related to the 2024 U.S. presidential election. These operations involve a network of inauthentic actors exhibiting similar link-sharing behaviors to disseminate misleading, redundant, and biased information, posing a significant threat to the integrity of democratic processes.

The integrity of democratic processes is directly threatened by coordinated information operations that can influence public perception and electoral outcomes. Understanding and mitigating these threats is critical for maintaining societal trust and the legitimacy of governance in a digital age.

Coordinated information operations are actively targeting the 2024 U.S. presidential election online discourse.
