American Celebrities Unwittingly Used in Russian Anti-Ukraine Propaganda

Videos purchased on Cameo were manipulated and widely shared on Russian social media, marking a novel approach in Russia's information warfare against Ukraine.

Pro-Russia propagandists have manipulated videos of American celebrities, purchased on Cameo, to discredit Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
The doctored videos have been widely shared on Russian social media and received misleading coverage in Russian news media.
The celebrities involved, including Elijah Wood and Mike Tyson, were unaware their videos would be edited and used in this way.
Microsoft's research highlights this as a novel approach in Russia's information warfare tactics against Ukraine.
Cameo has stated that such misuse of their service violates their community guidelines.
