US used fake Twitter accounts for psyops
The latest Twitter Files drop shows us that the feds were using fake accounts on Twitter for psyop and propaganda purposes in the Middle East, and Twitter allowed it to happen, despite testifying to Congress that they would not.
Rather than thwart these state-run accounts, Twitter gave blue checks and “whitelist” status to 52 Arab-language accounts at the request of the Department of Defense (DoD).
FACT-O-RAMA! The Twitter propaganda network was used against Russia, China, and other countries. It was also used to spread the lie that Iran was planning to poison Iraq’s water with crystal meth.
Like every other Twitter Files drop, this one can be hard to follow, especially considering that thousands of people respond to each tweet.
Here are some takeaways from Twitter Files, Pt. VIII:
...
- One of the fake accounts used an AI-generated fake image of a supposed user as its profile pic.
- Though Twitter allowed the DoD to keep fake profiles operating, it shut down propaganda profiles from countries such as Venezuela, Thailand, and Russia.
- Twitter assisted the Pentagon for at least five years.
- Some of the fake DoD accounts promoted U.S.-supported militia fighters in Syria. One now-deleted account spread news that drone strikes killed terrorists but not civilians.
It should not be surprising that Twitter was also helping Democrats' shut down relevant information in this country too. It was their propaganda device too.

Even if he steps down as the platform’s CEO, Elon Musk has already struck a resounding blow for free speech.
However clouded Twitter’s future may be at this point, Elon Musk has accomplished a seismic shift in the media world by exposing the old regime’s left-leaning roots and its propensity for covert censorship. If both faults can be remedied, the new Twitter has at least a shot at becoming a global forum for neutrally moderated free speech and discussion.
