Ben Gvir’s influence operation
More than 100 bots on social media have recently been deployed in coordinated attacks against his rivals.
Against Smotrich (“Arrogant and conceited, handing out billions to his own sector while the rest of the country works like a donkey and pays for it”), against Winter (“He didn’t want to investigate October 7 because he has something to hide”), and also against Channel 14 (“It has become Bibi’s private platform”).
According to an investigation by the organization FakeReporter, dozens of the AI-generated user accounts are operated by the consulting firm running Otzma Yehudit’s campaign.
