Elon Musk accidentally exposed the world’s largest electronic lobbying/bot network yesterday — and surprisingly, half of the accounts that insult you or your country, no matter your nationality, are not even real people!
The whole incident began with a small update rolled out on the platform X. It was supposed to be a minor update, but it included a new feature: you could now see the real location of any account you followed.
Not the location written by the user, but the actual place from where the device was operating.
According to many media experts, this update was intended to expose electronic lobbies that influence American public opinion. And that is exactly what it did — but the impact spread across the world like a digital atomic explosion.
As soon as the update appeared, people immediately started checking where the accounts they followed were actually operating from.
And that’s when the real shock came.
Some well-known Egyptian accounts that constantly posted against Egypt turned out to be operating from Turkey, the UK, and the UAE.
Accounts attacking Saudi Arabia were operating from Qatar and the UK. Pages that tried to create conflict between Morocco and Algeria were run from European countries that had nothing to do with either nation.
Similarly, many “fake” Syrian patriotic accounts were operating from Istanbul, and some provocative pages claiming to be run by Gulf women were actually operating from the UK.
And do you know what 99% of these accounts had in common?
Thousands of accounts writing in Arabic accents, insulting Arab countries and pitting specific nations against each other, were actually operating from Israel — specifically from the Israeli military’s notorious Unit 8200, known for cyber and electronic warfare.
This unit has long been involved in psychological operations and campaigns to create division within the Arab world.
This time, the truth became clear: accounts with names like “Omar,” “Reem,” “Saudi Aseel,” or “Masri Aseel” were in fact being run by Israeli specialists skilled in faking Arabic dialects.
This means that the hatred spread by these accounts against countries like Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Morocco, Algeria, Syria, Lebanon, Sudan, and others — was largely not coming from Arabs at all.
It was coming from Zionist Israeli sources.
As a result, it became clear that what we see every day is not the real anger of the people, nor cultural differences, but an organized plan aimed at creating hatred, division, and conflict among Arab nations.
In addition, thousands of bots posting automatically 24/7 were used to make you feel isolated — to make you believe your country is bad and that everyone agrees with that opinion. And this influence wasn’t limited to the Arab world.
In the United States, people also checked political accounts that heightened tension between Republicans and Democrats — and many of those accounts turned out to be operating from Russia, India, Bangladesh, and Israel.
As soon as the update was released and the issue became visible, thousands of accounts were suspended within an hour — and the feature itself was removed. You can no longer see this information.
This wasn’t the first scandal. Earlier, Musk had also disabled the automatic Hebrew translation feature because it revealed how Israeli governmental and non-governmental accounts openly promoted hatred and genocide against Gaza without facing any action — while Arab and Muslim accounts get restricted or banned instantly.
International reports state that X’s content moderation team includes former personnel of the occupying army, which explains why a certain narrative dominates the platform.
Similarly, many social media accounts claiming to belong to Pakistani political parties were operating from the US, India, Europe, or Israel. Accounts posting abuse and propaganda in Pakistani local languages were being controlled from other countries.
This incident opened the eyes of millions: much of the hatred, conflict, and division we see daily on social media is not real — it is the result of psychological warfare.
And this is only one platform, X. Imagine what must be happening on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, and others.
