A network of accounts on X using stolen and possibly AI-generated images coordinated to engage with accounts supportive of Israel
This discovery follows previous research by the DFRLab and other investigators which exposed a similar network of inauthentic pro-Israel accounts which became active on Facebook, Instagram, and X after the beginning of the war in Gaza.
Isn’t it common knowledge that there is an Iranian state-sposored social media campaign doing the exact same thing for the other side?
Social Media is the best thing that has ever happened for Iran, Russia, & China in terms of expanding the reach of propaganda.
Could you please share a link supporting your claim that doesn’t come from a zionist propaganda machine?
I assume everything is bots, so I only check out streamers, youtubers, and artists on Twitter. It was bad before the Musk takeover but now it’s borderline unusable lol
I worry the day Lemmy becomes inundated by Russian bots and…, oh hey Hexbear and ml, what are you doing here? Promoting genocide again?
Sorry I got distracted.
Why are so many people still using this platform?
Just stumbled upon a 9-min video (Invidious link) about Twitter’s brief history after Elon Musk’s takeover. Maybe interesting.

Makes sense, although sadly the elder you look the more likely they are to be pro-Israel. If I’m lucky, the person I’m interacting with recognizes that Hamas are not the people of Palestine, and even then it’s a dicey conversation.
This has been my experience in Oregon at an elder care facility, at least.
