remarque: je penche sur une hypthèse d'un compte genre #FIMI = Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference
si cela dit quelqu'un de l'observer
Foreign information manipulation and interference (FIMI) is often seen as an external threat. But domestic actors play a critical role in enabling it to take hold.
@internationalidea.bsky.social's new report shows how this shapes democratic resilience.

My latest for Linkiesta on the EEAS #FIMI report and the evolving landscape of disinformation.
From Russian and Chinese operations to the growing role of AI and how conflict is increasingly shifting into the information space.

you may enjoy the annual EU report on disinfo in 2025 by EEAS on FIMI 540 incidents
- 29%attributed to Russia; 6%connected to China. Occasional mutual amplification.
65% of all incidents recorded unattributed, but deceptive coordination is suspected, with operators and funding hidden #EEAS #FIMI
📊 Dismantling the FIMI House of Cards
EEAS shows FIMI going global—AI-driven, harder to detect, and scaling fast. 540+ cases, hidden networks, +259% synthetic surge.

Speaking at the 2026 @eudiplomacy.bsky.social #FIMI conference, EED Executive Director @pomianowski.bsky.social said that the front line against disinformation is in Europe's neighbourhood. EU Neighbourhood frontline civil society aren't just defending their democracies. They're defending ours.
Bottom line from the EEAS for #Tibetan #FIMI researchers:
#Tibet is a documented, sustained target of #AI-enhanced PRC state information operations. The EU's own foreign affairs service is now saying so publicly.
(& for Bluesky: #Spamouflage is on #Bluesky.)
THE GALAXY OF FIMI OPERATIONS IN 2025
The Galaxy of #FIMI Operations maps 3,000 core channels.
The report identifies distinct Chinese-attributed infrastructure: #Spamouflage, CGTN-linked #Falsos Amigos, #Paperwall, #HaiEnergy, alongside Russian-attributed channels.
[p.25, p.28-29]
Figure 14_Layers of the architecture of FIMI threats and deterrence mechanisms included in the FIMI Toolbox
The EEAS outlines a #deterrence toolkit for countering #FIMI infrastructure & raising the cost: account removal, demonetisation, #transparency requirements under the Digital Services Act. The report presents these tools as underused. [p.16 onwards]
Transnational Information Suppression (silencing critical voices outside #China) is flagged as a 'key concern' of Chinese #FIMI.
Targets include #diaspora individuals and their families. It straddles FIMI & human rights/ #transnationalrepression against #Tibetans #Uyghurs & #HongKong
[p.13]
The report notes that despite low engagement, 'the repeated posting of varied content creates the impression that these views are widely shared.' Volume simulates consensus. That's a core #FIMI mechanism. #genAI
[p.34]
27% of all #FIMI incidents in 2025 involved AI tools: up 259% from 2024.
#Russian and #PRC aligned actors have 'fully embedded AI' into operations: cartoons, voice cloning, impersonation video. Low engagement, high volume. [p.14] #genAI
Instead of carefully targeting a single audience, AI tools aredeployed at scale to keep a steady stream of content flowing.The objective is not precision but presence, ensuring thatnarratives are constantly circulating, even without clearlydefined targets.
China's #FIMI approach is described as 'cheap and fast.' (EEAS)
#AI allows mass content production at scale. The EEAS notes, across FIMI actors broadly, that the objective is 'not precision but presence.' [p.14, p.34] #genAI
The narrative portraying the EU as subservient to the US interms of foreign policy (e.g. on Gaza, Ukraine) remained,but this year also included criticism of the EU leadershipas hawkish on China, as well as on Russia, Iran, and theDPRK. The change of US trade policy was used to deploynarratives calling for closer cooperation between theEU and China in setting up a new multilateral order.This narrative was particularly prominent around theEU-China Leaders’ Summit in July. The so-called bigfour topics (Taiwan, Hong Kong, Xinjiang, and Tibet)featured heavily, primarily through defensive posture onhuman rights abuses in Xinjiang and Tibet. Hong Kong,Taiwan, and the situation in the South China Sea wereused in conjunction with promoting China’s concepts andviews on sovereignty and territorial claims. The ecosystemcontinued presenting Russia’s war against Ukraine andUkraine's accession to the EU as a source of division. https://www.eeas.europa.eu/sites/default/files/2026/documents/EEAS%204th%20Threat%20Report_web%20version_1.pdf
#Tibet is explicitly named as one of China's 'big four' #FIMI topics, alongside #Taiwan, #HongKong, and #Xinjiang. PRC information operations in 2025 maintained a 'defensive posture on human rights abuses in Xinjiang and Tibet.'
[p.13]
#China accounted for 6% of attributed incidents. But the report is clear: Chinese #FIMI relies heavily on covert, unattributed networks designed to expand reach while maintaining plausible deniability. 6% is a floor.

🧵 The EU's foreign affairs service just published its 4th annual report on foreign information manipulation. #FIMI
It identifies China's #Spamouflage network as active here on #Bluesky (大家好!) It touches on the targeting of #Tibetans. A thread on what it says:
In 2017, Black Cube operatives were convicted in Romania for targeting Laura Codruța Kövesi — Romania's chief anti-corruption prosecutor. Kövesi is now the EU's Chief Prosecutor.
An Israeli private intelligence firm targeted the woman who now leads EU law enforcement.
No EU #FIMI attribution again!
Black Cube didn't start its operations in Slovenia.
Investigative reporting documents this operational pattern before Hungary's 2018 AND 2022 elections. The Israeli #FIMI playbook.
Slovenia is not a random target though all our elections seem ripe for #FIMI by our erstwhile allies. Since 2024 it has:
- Recognised Palestinian statehood
- Banned Israeli settlement imports
- Imposed a full arms embargo
- Barred the most extremist Ministers: Ben-Gvir and Smotrich
The new EEAS Report shows how FIMI threats are surging: 540 incidents in 2025, a 259% jump in AI‑driven manipulation, and elections under coordinated attack. The EU shifts to proactive deterrence to protect democracy. #FIMI #CyberSecurity #Democracy

Under Golob, Slovenia recognised Palestinian statehood in June 2024, banned imports from Israeli-occupied territories, and barred far-right Israeli ministers Ben-Gvir and Smotrich. Israeli intel firm Black Cube allegedly involved and met with opposition leader Janša last year. #FIMI
欧州対外行動庁は17日、「外国による情報操作と干渉( #FIMI )対策年次会議」を開き、第4次報告書を公表した。
