The troll campaign provides yet another example of how online political discourse can be infiltrated and aggravated by outside groups.
The troll campaign also provides yet another example of how online political discourse can be infiltrated and aggravated by outside groups, a strategy that was used by Russia-connected accounts in the run up to the 2016 election and that has been adopted by domestic trolls.
The fake account was using a photo of her husband, a New York City rabbi, and featured a sign reading “Boycott Israel” behind her husband’s photo. After reporting it to Twitter, she found other accounts that seemed suspicious, too. Chizhik-Goldschmidt said that she has seen plenty of online harassment as a Jewish journalist, but noted that this effort caused her concern because of how it could affect the Jewish community.
Twitter confirmed it was aware of the 4chan campaign and was investigating related accounts and hashtags. Many of the accounts that were part of the campaign have been suspended.
