Hi guys.

Not sure if you guys have noticed this, but recently there's been a huge influx of fake accounts commenting on news articles in Malaysia.

Most recently, consider this Kini opinion piece about the recent visit from the Taliban.




Just look at the people who are commenting their accounts and the people who like the comments.

The accounts are invariably accounts with fake Al profile pictures, and they are locked.

The comments are all of a particular political leaning, and if you look at the sheer number of likes, on average Malaysiakini article comments don't receive such a large number of likes in the course of less than an hour and clearly, if you look at this, you will see that there is manipulation.

I think that always has been, but recently it has escalated like crazy.

Has anyone else noticed this?

Have a look at a sample at the link and down below and you will see multiple instances of this fake account usage.
There are at least fifteen fake accounts here - Eddie Azman, Fakri Nazri, Izzue Ashraf, Faizal Kamaruddin, Ikhwan Hakim, Ikhwan Fauzi, Dani Daniel, Khairul Ashraf, Azmir Ismail, Harith Iskandar, Fendi Akmal, etc amongst others.








If you guys could also help me with mass reporting these people to Facebook and MCMC that would be amazing!

Consider going to https://aduan.mcmc.gov.my to do so and clicking ‘report’ on their accounts.

Thanks!
V

How come they can do many fake account? I try to make fake account usually banned within hours

I do different browser, vpn, change ip, different emails, yet still they detect

all these fake and mull acc, you know i know....
it all started by u know who///
i am not saying master 1mdb, not saying bossku

Hmmm... want to start color revolution ah?

NED clearly not happy with this gomen.

Social media like fb, twitter, TikTok & etc lack of enforcement & moderation cause this.

But then u have China example of extreme restrictions eg. banning particular words towards certain leader.

Best I can think of is twitter verification so that ppl pay more attention to comment made by verified acc and ignore fake troll, verification being voluntary of course.

What shit you talking about? I can't even create new account as will get suspended or banned.

Even here lowyat don't allow fake account unless you have invite code.

Can be multiple computers and multiple people coordinating together rather than just one single individual.

So they engaged external party with $$$ again to do these type of things? Insaflah...

Religion has consequences.
Lots of idiots in a band wagon.

Your OpSec sucks.

Because you don't have cable.

not only here, is everywhere. The worst tiktok MY alot user got cancer and sampah content. Im not longer visit fb and tiktok MY. If looking for knowledge, harmony, best content go to douyin and redbook

Fake accounts aka cybertroopers are under media page comment section since a decade ago
Not until recently

But you and I can't do nothing.

I've reported more than a dozen scam ads, cybertroopers hate speech etc
Like our minister said, Meta just wont give a shit, and the minister were true.
The scam ads are here to stay, so with them.

This is why our Communication Minister wants to implement some control over social media. Exactly because of things like these. But noooo some people here say the Gov wants to become iron sickle. How lah?

General citizen have average intellectual and memory.
Put the new law and policies into context and citizen will happily dance to it.

One recent example was the passing of cyberbully law accompanied with the cases that were reported extensively during the same time.

all jkom account
u think only USA has deep state?

malaysia oso got albeit noob one

If those are fake accounts, then how come there is much confusion going on now? It is clear our gomen is very friendly with China now. But if you tell people the truth, they won't accept it.

They are 100% fake accounts. There are more than 15 of them. I’m also not seeing why what you’re saying is even tangentially related to what I said.

Yes, totally agree, some of these accounts are highly suspicious based on several aspects - their names, limited number of friends (also with weird names/photos), their profile mostly empty (before profiles can be locked, you can see they will just reshare posts to "show there's some activities", etc.

You do noticed it's funny when these accounts are Malay insulting their own kind.

Then we also have this topic which also claimed to be a Malay girl asking why Chagee has racial hiring preferences which doesn't hire Yindians.

Why no noise made regarding Chagee hiring process?

The Twitter post has since been removed but we all know the type of people who is behind all these postings.

Chinese educated lots don't bother engaging and spending time on English forums and social media platforms. They have their own world and platforms such as Little Red Book and Douyin which blocks non China based phone numbers on posting on them.

So which leaves..

Malay can't be insulting their own and the Chinese aren't bothered to engage their views on English/Malay platforms. Which means..
