A troll farm or troll factory is an institutionalised group of internet trolls aimed to interfere in political opinions and decision-making.[1]
Albania[edit]
In February 2020, the New York Times interviewed 10 ex-People's Mujahedin of Iran (MEK) members who said that the MEK's Albania camp had a troll farm that promoted the opinions of MEK supporters including Rudy Giuliani and John Bolton and attacked the Iranian government. The MEK claimed that the former members were Iranian government spies.[2]
Russia[edit]
The Russian web brigades, including Internet Research Agency, became known in the late 2010s for the Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections.[1]
