《港人講地》早前（二月五日）曾發表公開聲明，強烈譴責《蘋果日報》錯誤引述一間名為Graphika的美國機構報告，指控《港人講地》在疫情下散播不實資訊。鑑於相關失實報道，近日仍於互聯網流傳，包括《自由亞洲電台》、《香港01》、《852郵報》和其他多個境外媒體，都有類似的失實內容，情況如同大規模「名譽謀殺」《港人講地》。本編輯室現特此重申：Graphika一百多頁的「報告」中，提及《港人講地》部分僅三段文字，當中並無提及《港人講地》散播「失實資訊」。

Graphika報告大致內容僅表示，好些在社交媒體上散播垃圾信息的帳戶，它們的運作方式是會從真實可信媒體，擷取它們認為適合使用的內容，用於它們的帳戶內容或視頻內。《港人講地》重申，對於該等垃圾信息帳戶的操作，本網全不知情，《港人講地》亦從未授權該等垃圾信息帳戶的操作人去使用我們的內容。

Graphika「報告」提及《港人講地》的三段原文如下，以供參考：

港人講地Speakout HK

The last outstanding example described here points to how the Spamouflage operation takes advantage of existing authentic media outlets to promote its agendas. Graphika has noticed that a good number of Spamouflage assets amplified videos and video clips with the brand marking of 港人講地 (Speakout HK).

Speakout HK is a Hong Kong-registered online news site that launched in 2013. It is owned by Hong Kong United Foundation (HKUF), an “independent nonprofit organization set up by a group of responsible and Hong Kong-loving friends,” according to HKUF’s website. HKUF was co-founded in 2012 by Barry Cheung Chun-yuen, former non-official member of the Executive Council of Hong Kong, and Raymond Tang Yee-Bong, an adviser to former Hong Kong Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying.

Speakout HK has been promoting pro-establishment content on Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, Weibo and its own mobile application since it was founded. According to a poll conducted by the Chinese University of Hong Kong’s Communication and Public Opinion Survey Center in November 2019, Speakout ranked last for public credibility among ten Hong Kong online media sites, with a score of 4.29. Speakout HK’s pro-Beijing and pro-establishment content has surfaced in Spamouflage videos over and over again, demonstrating the operation’s willingness to borrow from authentic media outlets to the extent their reports serve its agendas.

《港人講地》嚴正譴責各媒體的失實報道，並保留一切法律追究權利。
