Report Says Russia-Linked and MAGA, Israel-Linked Networks Amplified Disinformation During French Riots

A report says recent riots in France have become a target for online misinformation campaigns. According to an EU assessment, a Russian initiative reportedly produced fabricated stories about migrant violence to fuel anti-immigration sentiment. The aim, according to the report, was to undermine confidence in the French government during the unrest. These false narratives were reportedly boosted by social media accounts linked to MAGA circles and to Israel.
