Czech Elves’ Bob Kartous: Some politicians benefit from disinformation,
others are too scared to combat it
Update: 2019-12-16
Description
The Czech Elves are secretive volunteers who have taken it upon themselves
to monitor disinformation that they say emanates from Russia. Their name is
borrowed from similar groups in the Baltic states who also combat trolls,
while their chief activity is publishing regular reports about
disinformation and fake news in the Czech online sphere. I discussed their
work with Bob Kartous, a Czech Elves’ spokesperson and one of the few
members who is not anonymous.
