Over on Facebook, a page named "Beautiful USA" has been spamming the platform with USA-themed posts featuring exaggerated patriotic imagery (often AI-generated). Although the page claims to be based in Los Angeles, Facebook’s Page Transparency feature indicates that it is operated from Romania.

"Beautiful USA" follows several other USA-themed content farm pages; recursively mapping follow relationships yields a set of 20 USA-themed spam pages run from a variety of countries, including Sri Lanka, Greece, Pakistan, and others. Only 4 of the 20 pages (20%) have a US-based administrator.

Many of the spam pages' posts include AI-generated patriotic imagery, frequently involving absurd displays of the US flag, such as the locomotive belching red, white, and blue smoke seen in the leftmost post in this collage. Plagiarized photographs of major US cities and landmarks turn up as well.

Most of the USA-themed Facebook spam pages make prolific use of hashtags. In some cases, the spam pages have flooded hashtags with off-topic content; for example, the #CaliforniaRealEstate hashtag has been largely taken over by "Beautiful USA" posts unrelated to California.

In a possible sign of the actual goal of the spam pages, several periodically post right wing politial content. This includes (among other things) posts praising Charlie and Erika Kirk, and a racist meme insinuating that multiple elected U.S. Representatives should be ineligible for public office.

Wasn't there an article by rolling Stone that pointed out that a lot of these spam accounts would post funny memes most of the time and then slip in the right-wing content? Was it the article entitled something like " that meme you just shared it was created by a Russian troll farm"? Something like that. I'm gettin' real tired of Russian propaganda.
