I also made a few “Twitter lists” of the accounts, but if they get suspended or block me they will fall off the lists, so it’s better to use the Google spreadsheet.

Most of the of the main cluster of “themed news” accounts have corresponding websites:

diplomacy24.com

salutfr.net

thetouristfiles.com

worldposts.net

gulliran.com

arabtrends.net

turkeyposts.net

prayerofpeace.com

theforeigncode.com

yemenwatch.com

theeconomyclub.com

theneolife.com

thecrystaleyes.com

malaysiajournal.com

thailandlivenews.com

indonesianupdates.com

afghanistanmirror.com

nepaldailylive.com

filipinolive.com

pakisdaily.com

indiandailylive.com

savesudannow.org

arabianlives.com

uae-voice.com

malaysianow.net

The websites are all very similar to each other. I haven’t done any IP research and have not looked that much into the sites. Just based off my initial look, they all seem pretty suspicious.

I did collect all their social media links into spreadsheet.

Social Media Links Spreadsheet:

Some of the accounts associated with the websites have started to get suspended across different platforms, it looks like they have accounts on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Google, Pinterest, Tumblr, Reddit, and YouTube.

These “themed news” accounts also have a support network of Reddit bots/trolls that are submitting posts for them.

I pulled some data from Reddit into a spreadsheet here:

Reddit Data Spreadsheet:

When you look at the data sorted by author you can clearly see single accounts spamming all the different websites that are related to each other.

one reddit user spamming multiple of the themed news accounts

Here are the reddit domain links:

You can easily view the users that are submitting links to multiple sites looking at reddit using /domain/ links.

There are some other Twitter accounts that I ran across that are not connected to the original set of inauthentic accounts or the main cluster of themed news accounts. They may have just gotten retweeted by the bots. They are definitely worth looking into more.

Like I said, I’m not exactly sure what this is, but the fact that there are so many suspect accounts, both Twitter bots and troll type accounts that are creating engagement on multiple platforms makes the network of accounts extremely suspect. Hopefully, someone uses this info to do some more research and figures out what these accounts are up to and who might be behind them. I will post some more info on my Twitter account https://twitter.com/josh_emerson
