[Thread] 1/4 Around 1956 sockpuppets tried to disappear a hashtag critical of MBS, translated as "The loser MBS". In Arabic this reads as #المهزوم_مبس .
The same chopped hashtag technique was used, with #وم_مب trending. Again, see the two screenshots #Disinformation

2/4 As with before, most of the accounts are not interacting with each other and are using Twitter Web Client
Graph below show lots of isolated accounts tweeting on the hashtag but not interacting with each other.
This successfully trended

4/4 Unlikely that many of these accounts are real patriots trying to dilute the trend, otherwise there would be more organic activity (unless they aren't so smart).
Many of these accounts were also active on previous chopped hashtags - clearly a specific network(s) at work.
