ComProp researcher Lisa-Maria Neudert spoke to Reuters about the leak of British-U.S. trade documents ahead of the UK general election:

Lisa-Maria Neudert, a researcher at Oxford University’s Project on Computational Propaganda, said if Russia was behind the leak, its aim may not have been to help any particular side in the election.
“We know from the Russian playbook that often it is not for or against anything,” she said. “It’s about sowing confusion, and destroying the field of political trust.”
