John Mark Dougan / CopyCop / Operation False Façade

John Mark Dougan is a former sheriff from Florida, who operates a variety of websites. Russia's primary intelligence agency, the GRU, provides Dougan with financial and material resources to assist with the websites, with the goal of providing disinformation to the American public. One of the resources is a generative AI tool that creates disinformation in the form of plausible social media posts. Funding also came from a Russian institute founded by Aleksandr Dugin. As of May 2024, at least 167 website domains, dubbed CopyCop, are likely linked to Dougan, who is described by NewsGuard as a "Russian operative". Dougan has lived in Russia since 2017.[22][23][24]
