Thread: The Wire, Lie and Tek Fog
The Wire, after INVESTIGATING for TWO YEAR, had come with a EXCLUSIVE story claiming BJP and its IT cell hacking whatsapp and running fake trend using an App called 'TEK FOG'.
Today @svaradarajan apoligising to 'readers' not the victims.

Many foreign nationalist and usual suspect jumped to promote The Wire's story. I am tagging them so that they feel either feel ashamed and apologise or stay silent for the demand of propaganga.

Just like Meta Story, @thewire_in used Tek Frog to collect 2 millions in 7 days.
"Real Investigation takes time. This one took two years" was the sentence they used to collect(loot) money. The story is deleted now.
@FinMinIndia they enjoy 80G.

These are screenshots of a few ‘utterly disturbing’ subreddits that I found on Reddit.
There’s this subreddit called “muslimahs for hindu men”
As vile as the name sounds, the subreddit contains extremely disgusting content targeting Muslim women. #BulliBai #SulliDeals

In these kind of subreddits, they openly post vulgar stuff about muslim women and children, talk about their mass rape and how they should be pushed into sex slavery in their ‘new hindurashtra’ #BulliDeals #BulliBaiApp #trads #tekfog #mumbaipolice
The saddest part is that this sub reddit has a following of about 15 thousand people and this one is the one that wasn’t de-activated #BulliDeals #SulliDeals #mumbaipolice
I've read this piece TWICE today. This should be the biggest story in India. Democratic conversations on social media were hijacked and trends were manufactured using #TekFog. Social media users were promised a govt job and more money to basically spread BJP propaganda.
The piece very correctly points out that a partisan information environment was manufactured in India and that public narratives are engineered.
Many of the hashtags that were being auto-retweeted can be categorised as hate speech. I won't amplify them here. They're in the screenshots of the piece.
So the BJP's popularity isn't technically real in the digital world. It is very carefully manufactured.

I was honored to advise @KaulAyushman on the #TekFog investigation
At FB, I knew that I was only finding the low-hanging fruit: those too stupid to hide. Smarter than their incompetent MP, the main BJP IT cells were only caught via being exposed by one of their own

FB India leadership first told me that the BJP was the primary users of IT cells in 2018
When I caught a pro-AAP IT cell in Delhi's 2020 elections, policy leaders assumed they'd decided to imitate the BJP's methods. (The LS has the docs)
FB knew - they just didn't care to look.

The most shocking finding for me was the confirmed ability of the BJP to hijack WhatsApp accounts to falsely message contacts
Imagine living under a government that hijacks your phone to send party-line propaganda impersonating you to friends and family. This is reality in India
