The Great BOT Purge on
the X Network (Twitter): Who Is Behind Them.
A BOT is an automated software
program designed to perform repetitive tasks over a network, often imitating or
replacing human actions, but at a much faster speed and higher accuracy. These
programs can be helpful, but they can also be malicious, used for tasks like
sending spam or launching denial-of-service attacks.
BOTs run independently based on a
specific set of instructions, without needing a person to manually start them
each time.
They are ideal for performing tasks
that would be tedious or time-consuming for humans, such as communicating with
users.
Today,
after the hostage-release deal is behind us and the X network (formerly
Twitter) removed overnight a wide range of accounts that were impersonating an
individual in one simple and ingenious move of revealing the operator’s
location such as Qatar, Turkey, Bangladesh, Pakistan and others, none of whom
were in Gaza as they purported to have one believe.
The
public in Israel, were a target for foreign attacks - the eighth front in its
full force!
The
campaign strategy is to flood
messages on social networks on a large scale, utilizing the Hamas propaganda
messages. High-quality messages formulated by the management layer of
initiator, with a deep understanding of Israeli society, with emphasis on a
very rapid response to current events, using well-crafted profiles that appear
to be Israeli or Gazans but are not.
a. Many
groups of user-operators participated in running the network uploaded thousands
of tweets on to X (Twitter):
b. By
adopting a political identity, the user identified the issue of the hostages
and opposition to the government as points through which there is potential to
bring the war to an end and lead the campaign to ‘adopt’ an Israeli opposition
political identity.
d.
Almost all the fake profiles of the campaign adopted the identity of
left-wingers, opponents of the government, and supporters of a deal for the
release of the hostages.
e. The
campaign’s messages were formulated in an attempt to align with the messages of
the hostage families and the opposition in Israel, in order to create
identification and cause them to share the messages.
f.
Comprehensive monitoring of the campaign revealed that there is no activity in
it to spread right-wing messages or support for the government.
g. The
initiators studied Israeli society - what its values are, who the tribes
composing it are, and who its key figures are - in order to find the cracks
through which they could promote messages that would tilt Israeli public
opinion toward supporting a halt to the war.
h. The
network operated to publish statements of the spokesperson of Hamas’s military
wing, despite Israeli censorship, in order to bring the harsh content to the
knowledge of the public in Israel and assist Hamas’s influence and
psychological warfare efforts and tilt Israeli public opinion.
