X Reveals Fake Gaza Accounts Fueled by Pakistani Actors
X’s new feature revealing user locations and account details has exposed widespread manipulation and fake accounts. Numerous accounts posing as Gazan residents, including some that solicited donations, were revealed to be operating from other countries such as Nigeria and Pakistan. Furthermore, accounts claiming to be journalists from Gaza were found to be based in locations like the United States and Turkey. The increased transparency has unveiled the extent of coordinated inauthentic activity on the platform, highlighting potential issues with political activism and misinformation campaigns.
