Thanks for sharing. A more recent study on this showed overall impact looking also at instagram data. Paints a pretty bleak picture: meo.ca/work/old-new... But news is still being shared on the platform just with many work arounds.

The final update from a thorough investigation into the Russian funding of Tenet Media. The influencers were likely recruited for their extreme pro-Russian content following the invasion of Ukraine and their positionality in the right-wing ecosystem in the US/CA. www.cdmrn.ca/publications...
