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.

    Makes sense, although sadly for real people in person, 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.
