Here's an interesting thing to note. This account is an "I stand with Israel", "Love Trump" fake account (not the only one in my mentions). Note that I'm not only getting Twitter-mobbed by Saudi accounts, but they've got backup from pro-Israel and pro-Trump accounts.
There is clear coordination in the behavior of these Twitter networks. They work as a hive, they push a number of preselected narratives (in various messages), and they select what/who to mob and what to ignore.
An initiative that began with an idea from the late @JKhashoggi, in a call he gave me in early August last year, focused on both exposing and exploiting these Twitter propaganda networks and turning them on their own Troll-masters. We've been working on it since.
My informed impression: These "troll networks" are designed and run not only by IT professionals but by marketing/messaging professionals. This is an advanced, real-time narrative/propaganda management system, that lives mostly on @Twitter.
So it's very interesting that there's coordination from two different networks of trolls, one operated by & for the benefit of MBS, and another operated for the benefit of Trump. There's also a lot of similarity in messaging, expressions and even memes. Can talk more later.
