Great find! That report talks about the op using Keitaro, a commercial web traffic tool usually used for ads. They repurposed it to spread disinfo, track how users interacted, and manage how well their campaign was doing. It let them create targeted campaigns, keep an eye on engagement, and tweak their strategies using real-time data.

Have you ever come across anything like that? A disinfo op using this kind of detailed tracking at scale? Curious to hear your thoughts!
