Unmasking information manipulation: A quantitative approach to detecting Copy-pasta, Rewording, and Translation on Social Media

Our method provides novel insights into the strategies employed by malicious networks to manipulate textual content through Copy-pasta, Rewording and Translation. It holds particular value in the context of investigating translation across different social networks. This is especially relevant when it comes to tracking elements from preparation-platforms where content originates, typically created by smaller communities in their native languages, to exposition-platforms where the content is shared with the target audience in their language.
