twitter briefly allowed people to see where each account was operated from. turns out, the official DHS account is run from Tel Aviv (lemmy.ml)

Gonna need some more evidence on this one mate

[EDIT 2] these links are not proof that this screenshot is real, I'm showing the paper trail. The reddit post was removed for not providing proof.

C'mon you can't say "turns out" and only provide an unsourced screenshot

[EDIT] Ok I went looking and you copied this reddit post verbatim

And this Twitter user seems to be the origin of the screenshot

There are a couple videos of people navigating to the page to show it's real

No idea how to verify it

Wayback machine maybe?

Well, if Grok and the video are to be believed then it is true

Video a little more convincing, but even then, why's the browser clipped off? I'm guessing UserScripts in the top right corner.

You’re an antisemite! /s

Sounds like an attempt to discredit the previous reports where bot accounts were operating.

Do you have an archive link of this?

"Israel App Store"? IDK man

Heard this was fake

[–] davel@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 months ago

This is much ado about nothing. Assuming it’s true, all that means is that the account was created 17 years ago from what may have been an Israeli IP address.
