Much has been made of Russia’s troll army in the last year in regards to 2016 election inference but the Kremlin’s cyber soldiers aren’t the only country running disinformation campaigns in the US. While most countries use their troll armies to police and influence their own citizens, some have already turned their attention to our shores as well as to our allies. According to Scott, who consults with various intelligence agencies around the world, the troll armies we need to watch out for include Iran, China, the Muslim Brotherhood and ISIL’s Cyber Caliphate (still active). The Philippines and Turkey also have large troll armies and while they have yet to turn their attention to the US, our foreign relations with both countries are weakening. The countries that have most to teach the US about combating disinformation and state-sponsored troll armies include Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
