Videos #StoryKillers: Today @FbdnStories & 30 media partners reveal “Jorge’s” secretive disinformation business. Discover how he offered to manipulate elections and influence opinions to undercover journalists of the project, from @haaretzcom @InvestigationRF @TheMarker. #Thread
Before journalists who posed as clients, “Jorge” showed how his tool “AIMS” can create avatars for influence campaigns. Meet Sophie Wilde ⤵️
The AIMS tool doesn’t just offer avatar creation. The latest version can also create and disseminate automated content in any language, either with a “positive,” “negative” or “neutral” tone.
To show what he was capable of, “Jorge” hacked Telegram accounts in front of the journalists posing as clients.
“Jorge” boasted of having used such tactics on “33 presidential campaigns, 27 of which were successful” worldwide.
“Jorge”, a loquacious salesman, bragged that he could place his stories on French TV. As proof, he pulled up an excerpt of a report broadcasted on @BFMTV in December 2022.
To delay, or even cancel a presidential election, “Jorge” asked our undercover reporters for 6 million euros.
