Cyabra uncovered that nearly one-third of the accounts shaping the Venezuela–U.S. conversation were fake. These coordinated networks embedded propaganda into real debates, blending so seamlessly they reshaped perceptions without detection.
The impact was staggering. Fake campaigns generated over 111,000 engagements and reached up to 181 million views, amplifying anti-U.S. sentiment while rebranding Venezuela as a symbol of resilience and hope. Cyabra’s findings reveal how inauthentic actors can hijack discourse, manufacture consensus, and shift narratives at scale.
