It's good they exposed this network of websites - now what is going to be done to prevent them using it as intended (casual users on phones promoting soundbites to friends are not going to be checking the list in such articles...)?
Having said that, the anglosphere experienced this already in 2016 with Brexit and Trump, and such networks also promoted anti-french coups in Africa, so to 'uncover' this now seems rather behind the wave. A specific issue among francophone elite was their concept that to make french great again they had to focus on resisting "anglo-saxons", so were naïvely tempted by russian narratives about a "multi-polar world". Russia wants to divide europeans, we need to cooperate better.

It's been continuous since 2015. The Kremlin has been using anonymous social media accounts to divide democratic countries.

Disinformation during COVID, the 2020 US election, "trucker convoys," George Floyd protests, focus on transexuals as a wedge issue... they caught democracies flat footed.
