The article is biased and very light on evidence. The biggest accusation I could find is that &quot;The @ChalecosAmarill account often “posted disturbing videos that strengthen its digital influence and activism. (...) Although several of the videos and images are likely true, the context in which many are presented does not appear to be accurate.” If you go into the actual report, the evidence is also thin, and very naive. One caption mentions &quot;@ChalecosAmarill’s post claiming the United States financed coups in several countries, including Colombia, without providing additional information to support the claim.&quot; US intervention actually caused the appeaarance of the first guerilla groups that became the FARC [1], suggesting the people doing the report know nothing about Colombia&#x27;s history.<p>I have no doubt there is disinformation being pushed by many state actors and this account may very well be one of them. However, I fail to see the difference between that and what those think-tanks like the ones who produce this type of report are doing.
