Dozens of suspected bot accounts on X/Twitter are amplifying content from New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and his circle, and reportedly can be traced to New York City Hall IP infrastructure, the World Zionist Organization told The Jerusalem Post exclusively.
As part of its activities against the waves of antisemitism online, WZO’s dedicated Department for Combating Antisemitism was presented with data and findings collected by cyber experts specializing in the field.
The information included an analysis of IP addresses and mapping of activity patterns and distribution networks of suspected bot accounts.
WZO’s technological examination of activity on the X network points to dozens, if not hundreds, of accounts with unusual characteristics. The Post independently consulted the cyber experts involved, who said they are “100% sure” the IP addresses could be traced to city hall, although it did not provide evidence establishing who controlled the accounts or whether city officials directed their activity.
It’s interesting how they make claims about antisemitism but won’t quote a single instance of antisemitism, yet feel compelled to report this lower than 200 account bot farm to the US government and say they’re spreading hate. Jpost is as reputable as Breitbart, I don’t think any legitimacy should be afforded them.
To me it seems like they’re starting to provide nucleation sites for the US government to eventually have one with enough popularity to take action on. No doubt there are going to be bots actually spreading antisemitism and his posts now if not already.
Also it’s a bullshit headline, they claim to trace it to city hall, but then later admit what connects it is their reposts, not their actual IPs. Are they insinuating there’s a server farm or a phone farm mass posting this in some closet at the city hall? Delusional
