The report addresses an under‑researched phenomenon in the Global South, using regional case studies (including Brazil, South Africa, India, and parts of Southeast Asia) to show how these actors leverage alternative and mainstream digital platforms to spread narratives and facilitate activities. It underscores challenges faced by technology companies in moderating content across diverse languages and cultural contexts, and it highlights gaps in digital governance and cyber resilience.
