The Israeli government is paying social media companies to promote videos designed to cultivate support for its war on Gaza.

    Honestly, that sounds like unusually unpursuasive propaganda for Israel. They’re usually very shrewd, but those should terrible.

      Interesting choice of the word “shrewd.”

        I use shrewd as a compliment. It’s a resume/CV type word

          It was originally a negative word but it has had a positive connotation for 400 years now. Bit of a reach to imply it’s a racist dog whistle in this context, imo.

          That’s hysterical.

            Wait, so you think the phrase “shrewd business practices” is negative?

    This has been happening all over Europe. Sorry Dutch link: https://www.vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/2023/10/27/israel-overspoelt-sociale-media-met-advertentievideos-over-confl/

    The campaign was mainly aimed at European countries. “Nearly 50 video ads in English were targeted at EU countries, while viewers in the US and UK were served 10 and 13 ads respectively. One of the videos had been viewed more than 3 million times,” it said on October 17.
