Fake Pak Twitter Accounts
Digital forensics report reveals network of imposters in Pakistan pushing Pro-China narratives
Islamabad: Reports by digital forensics and fact-checking centres have shown that several imposters from Pakistan are using the digital platform to carry out Pro-China and Pro-Pakistan narratives through fake Twitter accounts, media reports said on Tuesday.
Digital Forensics, Research and Analytics Centre (D-FRAC), a non-partisan and independent media organization that focuses on fact-checking revealed that many Twitter IDs are solely dedicated to China-Pakistan economic corridor(CPEC) and many CPEC tweets are retweeted by other fake accounts, reports ANI.
Additionally, there are other fake accounts that tweets and retweets posts about Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan.
The reports reveal that many of these Twitter accounts have changed their usernames to fulfil their motives, the news agency reported.
In an exclusive report, the centre covered some fake Pakistani accounts like @Xinhua_88 and @ChinaPakWW. These accounts have now been suspended by Twitter. In its new report, Pakistani imposters have debunked some more Pakistani imposters and have exposed their narratives, ANI reported.
