Dedicated Spam Domains
The domains listed below are automated spam sources, predominantly to drive web traffic to ad farms using scraped and republished content, potentially scraped using LLM bots. Their service address usually hides the local timeline, has no contact information, and/or hides the user account directory. These services are now included in the IFTAS DNI list.

The account names listed below are associated with a pro-Russia spam/propaganda network identified in September 2025. For more context see our related blog post and https://bsky.app/profile/antibot4navalny.bsky.social/post/3m22256476k25
Additional indicators that would identify these accounts as being part of the network include registration after September 8, 2025; linking to pro-Russia Telegram channels; masquerading as legitimate news organisations; and the use of disposable email domains for the account registration.
If you choose to report or flag an account you believe to be associated, include a link to https://mastodon.iftas.org/@iftas/115322867312262878 for the service moderation team to review.
