German Election Interference: Fake Profiles Promoting AfD

Over 1,000 fake profiles artificially boosted support for the far-right party AfD, spreading hundreds of misleading posts, attacking political opponents, and amplifying pro-AfD narratives. 

Cyabra's analysis of election discourse before Germany's federal elections uncovered over 1,000 fake profiles artificially boosting support for the far-right party AfD, spreading hundreds of misleading posts, attacking political opponents, and amplifying pro-AfD narratives.

47% of the fake profiles have been active for over a year, suggesting a well-orchestrated, long-term influence operation campaign designed to manipulate German public perception.
