🚨 EXCLUSIVE: The Terror Pipeline from Hamas to @Reddit
***New investigation by me, @ashleyrindsberg, for @piratewires reveals a coordinated propaganda network that controls dozens of subreddits.***
Rooted in the r/Palestine subreddit, the network launders terrorist messaging from Hamas, Hezbollah, and other US-designated terror groups into mainstream platforms—and Reddit is at the center of it.
A web of radical activist moderators belonging to the netwo controls over 100 subreddits, including some of the largest non-political communities on the platform. This includes r/Documentaries (20M members) to r/PublicFreakout (4.7M)
The network's activities extend deep into @X, @Quora, @Wikipedia and other major platforms.
Known as "data poisoning," this effort is aimed at manipulating search results, AI models, and online discourse at scale.
Key findings:
- The r/Palestine network (270K members) runs a private Discord server where “task forces” coordinate vote brigading, censorship, and amplification of terrorist-linked content across Reddit, X, Quora, TikTok, and Wikipedia.
- Terror propaganda is funneled from Hamas’ Al-Qassam Brigades, Hezbollah, and Palestinian Islamic Jihad via Telegram aggregators like Resistance News Network (RNN), which translates and launders the content into the open internet.
- Reddit’s trusted status in Google search and AI models like ChatGPT makes it a powerful weapon for information warfare, ensuring terrorist messaging surfaces in top search results and AI-generated responses.
- Despite repeated warnings, Reddit’s trust and safety team has refused to act, with sources saying top executives have laughed off concerns.
