While the US accuses Russia of using internet trolls to sow discord, Washington is funding its own propaganda body's program of 'non-branded Facebook accounts' operating in Cuba.

The US Office of Cuba Broadcasting (OCB), an arm of America's official foreign propaganda agency the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG), is setting up "non-branded local Facebook accounts to disseminate information" in Cuba. The OCB believes that such pages are more likely to be appearing on newsfeeds of actual Cubans with access to the social network – apparently because Facebook changed its algorithms to give priority to living people over organizations in its crusade on the phantom menace of 'Russian fake news'.

The quote does not come from some leaked report on American information warfare against the Cuban government. It comes from page 31(attached) of the BBG's request for fiscal year 2019 funding. Spending taxpayer money on fake online personas used to disseminate propaganda and meddle in another nation's affairs is perfectly fine – so long as it’s America doing it.
