Cyabra analyzed online discouse ahead of Norway’s 2025 election, and uncovered a coordinated disinformation network targeting Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre.
Over a third of those profiles were identified as fake, indicating a substantial presence of inauthentic activity aimed at discrediting the Prime Minister and amplifying negative narratives.
Many of the fake profiles claimed to be based in countries across Europe, North America, Asia, and Africa. This geographic dispersion not only created the illusion of global consensus against Støre but also served to obscure what may be a coordinated domestic effort originating from Norway. This tactic successfully drew in real users from various countries, who became active participants in the discourse - thereby boosting the spread and credibility of anti-Støre narratives on a global scale.
