Fake Gaza Accounts Exposed on X
(Israel Hayom) Avital Fried - The X social network's new feature displays users' locations and additional information, enabling the identification of fake behavior and bots impersonating real users. This has led to the exposure of fake accounts and user manipulations from around the world. Some presented themselves as Gazans, some raised funds, and others posed as journalists from Gaza while actually reporting from other countries. For example, user @noor_jomaa01 presented herself as a Gazan and raised tens of thousands of dollars, but it turns out her origin is actually from Nigeria. The prominent anti-Israeli account "Khalisi" was exposed as tweeting from Pakistan. Numerous accounts of "journalists from Gaza" were exposed as actually operating from the U.S.
