A company called Cyabra specializes in the identification of misinformation, where it originates and how it is spread. It is releasing a report today. The report found that 26% of the social media accounts putting out information about the recent Iranian missle/drone attacks were fake accounts. They pushed 3 themes: That WWIII was imminent, that Israel is a terrorist state and that Iran is a powerful country.
Full disclosure: Cyabra is based in Israel. Israel has a ton of tech companies based around defense/intel products. I am going to look for the report later and more info on the company but on first glance it looks like legit info from a legit company.
I post this to demonstrate that bad actors are building themes, some egregiously false, to shape world opinions. We can be certain that some of these false narratives are shaping the opinions and voting habits of Americans and we Americans are willing if unwitting participants when we hit the “Share” button or repeat false narratives.
