[68] For example: "To illustrate its slip-it-under-the-radar strategy, Newsguard has gone directly to state governments to push its browser extension onto entire
state public library systems"
"A Boston Globe article on Newsguard from this past October makes this plan even more clear. The Globe wrote at the time:
Microsoft has already agreed to make NewsGuard a built-in feature in future products, and [Newsguard co-CEO] Brill said he’s in talks with other online titans.
The goal is to have NewsGuard running by default on our computers and phones whenever we scan the Web for news.”"

[75] This is a borderline case. The Institute studies computational propaganda in general and the alleged Russian social media campaign in 2016 is just one of
the examples they have investigated (others are for example climate change, elections in Brazil, elections in Sweden). But that study has been very influential
in the media and assumes the general unproven narrative that the Russian government is behind this effort (see for example https://comprop.oii.ox.ac.uk/wp-
content/uploads/sites/93/2018/12/IRA-Report-2018.pdf and the first paragraph in https://comprop.oii.ox.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/89/2017/06/Comprop-
Russia.pdf ) and the study has been very influential in the media.
