This thread by @yashar & one by @file411 that I will link to next is a good head's up that there are still a number of fake #resistance accnts just waiting to flip into pro-Trump #MAGA accounts. Much like the astroturfed #Walkaway campaign of a few yrs ago https://twitter.com/yashar/status/1317229401101144064
The @VenusSylbrine account, which has since been deleted, unexpectedly turned from a #resistance account to a pro-Trump #MAGA account on October 16th, a few days back. @file411 has a good thread here #infoOps #osint #disinfo #infosec https://twitter.com/File411/status/1317243292069842945
Looking back in July this @VenusSylbrine account was posing as a #resistance #blacklivesmatter account #BLM and had built up a moderate following and was quite active at retweeting out resistance related content. #infoOps #osint #disinfo #infosec
However, there were examples of things that seemed a little amiss and clear red flags this was a troll account like this particular reply tweet. Clearly aimed at being divisive, incendiary and creating conflict. #infoOps #osint #disinfo #Election2020 #vote
This type of information warfare / deception campaign reminds me of our Rally Forge thread where a TPUSA associated domestic troll farm in Phoenix was caught creating fake progressive left & far left #DSA accnts 2 attack the Democratic center #election2020 https://twitter.com/SlickRockWeb/status/1315673152102465536
Or his thread from last year where we found some troll accounts spreading disinformation that Ivanka had Chinese voting machines already in place to cast doubt on the upcoming election. This of course is absolutely not true. #election2020 #infoOps #disinfo https://twitter.com/SlickRockWeb/status/1200468835536642049
These main nodes, that pushed the Ivanka Trump Chinese voting machines #disinfo, @ann_cannon & @siano4progress were later suspended by Twitter presumably for spreading election disinformation. The @neveragainFL account is still live but has gone completely inactive #Election2020
