British Army’s 77th Brigade collated tweets from British citizens about Covid-19

Big Brother Watch claimed that soldiers from the Army’s 77th Brigade collated tweets from British citizens about Covid-19 at the start of the pandemic and passed them to the Cabinet Office as part of wider cross-Government efforts to combat misinformation and disinformation about Covid-19.
An investigation by the civil liberties campaign group said a whistleblower had claimed that troops were used to “spy” on the British public.
