⁂ Fish Id Wardrobe@randahl i think this is likely to be the tip of a very large iceberg.
my personal touchstone is to be suspicious whenever an organisation suddenly turns up in the news conflating criticism of israel with antisemitism.
of course you can never be sure (and, obviously, genuine antisemitism is always with us).

@Quantillion yes. Just like when we tested the first person positive for COVID-19, we had a simple one person disease problem on our hands.

Repeating my post-comment on the original Reuters article (a fine piece of reporting): Informative, outrageous; & the Israeli govt apparently knew nothing about it: “Before scrubbing its online presence following enquiries from Reuters, BlackCore described itself as "an elite influence, cyber, and technology company built for the modern era of information warfare." It said it provided governments and political campaigns with "cutting-edge strategies, advanced tools, and robust security to shape narratives."
“It has not responded to repeated requests for comment.

🍁voilà-DCKIM🍁@randahl if it only takes 256 accounts to smear someone, it might be possible that people outside of the political sphere concerned, and not part of the voter base in the area could do this sporadically either way. This is likely being done through legitimate accounts also. It basically flies both ways.
Is it only considered as 'interference' where a specific company does it deliberately with fake accounts attributable to no one? What if it was done by encouragement and was directed?
