Russia disinformation campaign in Germany! Efforts to increase citizens’ dissatisfaction with the government
More than 50,000 fake profiles on the X platform, more than 1 million tweets in German: Russia seems to have tried to increase German citizens’ dissatisfaction with the government with a massive campaign.
The German Foreign Ministry has discovered a large Russian disinformation campaign on the Internet, on the platform X, formerly Twitter. The purpose of the campaign was to increase dissatisfaction with the work of the government in Berlin and to undermine support for Ukraine, reports “Spiegel”.
On behalf of the German Foreign Ministry, experts have analyzed the short message service X with a special software and found a large network of fake user profiles that distributed content in the German language.
In the time span from December 20 to January 20, experts have identified more than 50,000 fake accounts on the X platform, which have published more than 1 million tweets in the German language.
The focus is on support for Ukraine:
In the messages, accusations are often raised that the German government ignores its people in order to support Ukraine, “Spiegel” reported, referring to reliable sources from the analysis. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been following the debates on social media on foreign policy topics for a long time through IT analysts. The goal is to detect influence from outside. “Disinformation has turned into a global threatening factor”, said a spokesperson of the Foreign Ministry for “Spiegel”. “It is being used on purpose by those who do not share our values to destabilize societies as a whole, not just Western democracies, but as a whole.
