Smears Target El-Sayed
A digital analysis of Democratic candidate Abdulrahman El-Sayed’s campaign in Michigan found coordinated activity targeting his Muslim and Egyptian identity and his criticism of Israel’s policies in Gaza. The activity relied on similar narratives and accusations promoted by American right-wing and pro-Israel accounts. The analysis examined more than 7.9 million posts over two months and tracked around 8 million posts from more than two million accounts. Attacking content made up about 50% of the interactions observed. The findings showed that 91% of accounts with an identifiable location were active in the United States, and 99% of the abusive content was written in English. The analysis also identified around 178,000 fake accounts that published more than 439,000 abusive posts in an effort to amplify the attacks and influence voters.
