The Justice Department released documents showing how the Russian operation extensively used "cybersquatted" domains, registering names intended to mimic legitimate websites (e.g., washingtonpost.pm to mimic washingtonpost.com). These fake sites published Russian government messaging falsely presented as content from legitimate news organizations.

In addition, the operation deployed "influencers" worldwide, paid for social media advertisements (often created using AI), and created social media profiles posing as U.S. citizens to post comments on social media platforms with links to the cybersquatted domains.

Our strategy leverages strategic narrative development and deployment that operates at the intersection of media, psychology, and grassroots activism. Rather than simply reacting to disinformation after it spreads, we take a proactive approach by developing compelling, fact-based narratives that directly confront Russian manipulation techniques.

This asymmetric information response model combines the speed and reach of AI with human creativity and cultural understanding. By distributing factual content through the same channels and using similar engagement techniques as disinformation actors, we can effectively reach vulnerable audiences before false narratives take hold. The strategy effectively "fights fire with fire" - using the power of emotional storytelling and memetic content while maintaining rigorous factual standards.

The Human Task Force (HTF) represents a dual-purpose initiative: combating disinformation while providing economic opportunities to people in underserved regions worldwide. Our assistants aren't just fighting falsehoods—they're earning meaningful income through flexible, remote work.

Each assistant receives specialized training in identifying disinformation techniques, utilizing effective counter-narratives, and using our AI-enhanced tools to maximize their impact. They work as independent contractors, completing micro-tasks that collectively create a powerful network of truth advocates across social media platforms. They seek out popular misinfo posts to maximize engagement and views.

Grok AI serves as an especially powerful tool in our counter-disinformation toolkit because it has been dubbed "the Truth Machine" by its creator, Elon Musk. When Grok contradicts false narratives - even when those narratives come from its own creator - it creates a uniquely persuasive effect.

Our assistants leverage this capability by engaging with misleading content on X/Twitter, asking Grok to fact-check claims in real-time, and sharing those corrections widely. This approach is particularly effective because it uses the platform's own AI tools to correct misinformation within the same ecosystem.

"Prebunking" is a powerful approach where we educate audiences about manipulation techniques before they encounter them. This creates psychological immunity to disinformation, making people significantly less likely to believe or share false content later.

Research shows prebunking messages that follow a specific structure - warning people about the threat, explaining how the manipulation works, and showing a weakened example - can build lasting resistance to targeted manipulation techniques.

Our comprehensive measurement approach goes beyond traditional social media metrics to assess the true impact of our counter-narrative strategy. At scale, we will be able to evaluate not just reach and engagement, but actual attitude and belief change among target demographics.

Through partnerships with research institutions, we can conduct regular polling and sentiment analysis to measure shifts in public opinion on key issues targeted by disinformation campaigns. This data feeds back into our strategy, creating a continuously improving counter-narrative system.

Each subscription funds a full year of operations for the specified number of HTF assistants. Each assistant is expected to produce 40-80 pieces of content daily across targeted platforms, primarily focusing on X/Twitter, where disinformation is particularly prevalent.

As the number of assistants increases, we achieve significant economies of scale that allow us to pass on savings while dramatically increasing the reach and impact of the counter-narrative campaign. With 1,000 assistants, we can generate and distribute over 40,000 pieces of factual content daily.

Supporting organizations receive exclusive quarterly briefings detailing emergent misinformation patterns, trends, and the effectiveness of various counter-narrative strategies. These intelligence reports provide valuable insight into the evolving nature of information warfare that extends beyond the specific campaign.

Additionally, supporters gain the ability to direct campaign focus toward specific issue areas of concern, ensuring that resources are allocated to combating the most harmful disinformation affecting their constituencies and priority areas.
