CAM study reveals extensive bot network amplifying anti-Israel, antisemitic content
The research forms part of CAM’s Bots Accountability Project, an initiative that documents and reports bots, fake profiles, and inauthentic accounts while tracking platform responses.
A recent study by the Antisemitism Research Center (ARC) of the Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM) has found that nearly one-in-four unique accounts amplifying content from the anti-Israel profile @Wallface exhibit bot-like signals. The study, conducted in October 2023, analyzed 10,709 X/Twitter accounts interacting with @Wallface and identified 2,597 accounts (24.3%) as being strong bot-like profiles.
The research, part of CAM's Bots Accountability Project, used a detection model called X model v1.4.0 to evaluate various signals such as account age, posting rates, follower ratios, and profile completeness. The study found that as the profile's posting frequency increased, the proportion of flagged accounts also grew, with 23.2% of accounts showing bot-like activity in September and 22.2% in October.
