ZDF @ZDFfrontal war zu Besuch und wollte für die Sendung am Dienstag wissen, warum man ohne rechtliche Folgen Wahlen in Deutschland kaufen kann. Wir trauen uns nicht gegen Fake-News wirksam vorzugehen, weil die Profiteure davon sonst Zensur brüllen.
1/
Verleumdungen gegen Kandidaten wie durch #TeamJorge in Israel für Millionengage zu kaufen, ist zwar theoretisch strafbar, wird faktisch jedoch nicht verfolgt, da Plattformen wie Twitter das Recht folgenlos ignorieren. Details im Video und bei @ZDFfrontal.
Die Enthüllung, dass man Wahlen durch Bot-Netze und Avatar-Armeen beeinflussen kann, war uns längst klar, so dass der große Aufschrei ausblieb. Wir gewöhnen uns an die Erosion der Demokratie. zdf.de/nachrichten/po…

😮 “M'Barki ran reports on a variety of subjects - luxury yachts in Monaco, a Sudanese opposition leader, allegations of corruption in Qatar - that had all one thing in common: they were planted by an Israel-based outfit specialising in 'news for hire'.” bbc.com/news/world-eur…
"The second report, broadcast in mid-December, was about a leafleting campaign in #Paris accusing a former state prosecutor in #Qatar of corruption.” This is an important illustration of how the #influenceindustry works to coordinate across legacy/online media….
“When originally shown in the early hours of the morning, the reports would have gone almost unobserved.
But that changed when they were picked up by #SocialMedia and #TeamJorge's massed avatars. Suddenly they were viral."

1/ Die #StoryKillers-Recherchen zur Desinformations-Organisation "#TeamJorge" sind phänomenaler Investigativjournalismus.

Aber wie steht es um Team Jorge: Können diese Leute wirklich weltweit Wahlen drehen, wie sie behaupten? Ich bezweifle es. 🧵

2/ Team Jorge hat den Undercover-Journalisten in einem Videocall ihr Angebot erklärt. Die Journis haben den Call aufgezeichnet. Das ist ein erstes Anzeichen, dass es sich um eine eher dilettantische kriminelle Organisation handelt. Warum?

3/ Ein wirklich grosser, professioneller Player im Hacking- und Desinformations-Business würde *kaum* den trivialen Fehler machen, mit Unbekannten, deren Identität nicht geprüft wurde, einen Videocall durchzuführen, den diese am anderen Ende einfach aufzeichnen können.

2/ “After you’ve created credibility, what do you do? Then you can manipulate"

Good to see @Meta take action on these accounts.

Honestly though we are at the absolute tip of the iceberg. ImageImage
3/ Here he is demoing access to the #Gmail of a purported key political insider in #Kenya just days before the election.

This tech & tactics is kerosene on the flames of democracy. Image
