Israeli watchdog says it's found social media bots disseminating messages in support of Prime Minister Netanyahu ahead of elections.
File - In this Thursday, March 28, 2019 file photo, a woman walks by an election campaign billboard showing Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Likud party leader, in Tel Aviv, Israel. An Israeli watchdog said Monday that it's found a network of social media bots disseminating messages in support of Netanyahu ahead of next week's elections.
Noam Rotem and Yuval Adam, two researchers operating the Big Bots Project, said in a report that they uncovered hundreds of fake accounts spreading messages in support of Netanyahu’s Likud party and smearing his opponents. The campaign has focused largely on personal attacks between the two front-runners, with Gantz taking aim at Netanyahu’s alleged ethical lapses, and Netanyahu painting Gantz as a weak “leftist.” The prime minister’s Likud Party has also tried to portray Gantz as being mentally unstable.
The accounts’ posts involve “a combination of spreading the narrative of the Likud party and attacking the opposition, mostly Gantz, but not only, and attacking anyone that is criticizing them,” Rotem said.
