73. SDA records revealed another influence campaign aimed at avoiding detection and mitigation by U.S. social media companies by creating and developing *a network of 200 accounts in Twitter four in each of the 50 states: two active and two ‘dormant ‘ones. Active accounts in each state will be maintained on behalf of a fictitious individual, who actively supports” a political party and represents ‘a community of local activists. ” SDA actively sought to “eliminate the possibility of detection of the ‘Russian footprint’ in the proposed project, a multi-level protection of the infrastructure will be built. It will contain VPN services, physical servers located in the United States, etc.” The project’s goal was to steadily increase the number of subscribers, eventually reaching one million in one year.
