Coordinated Inauthentic Behavior (CIB) is when multiple accounts work together to push a narrative or target someone while hiding that they are acting as a group. These campaigns use fake identities, shared content, or synchronized posting to make manufactured criticism look organic. On April 26 a hashtag none of us had seen before, #fake_journalism, flooded Pakistani Twitter with attacks on journalist Matiullah Jan. It looked coordinated from the first hour, so we saved every tweet inside a 58-minute window and went through the accounts one by one. What we found is significant evidence of coordination and inauthenticity. Multiple handles were created on the same two days in February and stayed dormant until that night. Multiple tweets closed with the same three demands in the same order. The same graphic was uploaded individually by account after account. #SochVideos #MatiullahJan #FakeJournalism #Journalism #PressFreedom #Pakistan

Imaan stood bravely for all oppressed. She fiercely spoke out for the victims of the blasphemy business group when few dared even utter the word “blasphemy” People like Imaan and Hadi should be celebrated as heroes and our state has thrown them behind bars #ReleaseImaanAndHadi

@NHMPofficial Traveling on M2 Islamabad–Lahore, I was issued a PKR 2,500 ticket for driving at 118 km/h. I assumed the motorway limit remained 120 km/h, but was told it had temporarily been reduced to 100 km/h due to the fuel crisis — without any visible signage. Excellencies @NawazSharifMNS @CMShehbaz In peer developing countries like India, Malaysia, Indonesia and Turkey, temporary/revised limits are normally communicated through clear roadside signs, electronic boards and advance warnings before enforcement. A fair approach would be those drivers within the normal 120 km/h limit but above the temporary limit should receive a first-time warning where signage is missing. Those exceeding 120 km/h should be fined immediately. Also, cash collection of fines is not a good practice and should be STOPPED IMMEDIATELY . Pakistan is promoting digitization, so motorway fines should be payable via card, QR, mobile wallet or bank transfer. Clear signage, first-time warnings and cashless payments would improve compliance, transparency and public trust. 🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰 @OfficialDGISPR X @shazchy09 @zaighamkhan @CMShehbaz @ShehbazAr @ShehbazDigital @PTIofficial @pmln_org @PPP_Org @81ShahbazRana @MiftahIsmail @salmanAraja @BarristerGohar @BBhuttoZardari @mustafa_nawazk @HabibAkram @_Mansoor_Ali @Shahidmasooddr @FrontlineKamran @AajKamranKhan @AnsarAAbbasi @nadeemhaque @Shabbarzaidi4 @Jhagra @HamidMirPAK @Kashifabbasiary @meherbokhari @agentjay2009 @Matiullahjan919 @OryaMaqboolJan @JunaidAkbarMNA @ImJunaidSaleem @MarianaBaabar @haider_mehtab @SohailAfridiISF @SohailAfridiCM @MuzzammilAslam @MaryamNSharif @MIshaqDar50 @fbhutto @AsadAToor @Ghummans @javeednusrat @ZarrarKhuhro

@majidsnizami نظامی صاحب کیا آپ بتا سکتے ہیں اب تک کتنے افراد ٹارگٹ کلنگ کا شکار ہو چکے ہیں جنہیں ممکنہ طور پر انڈیا نے ٹارگٹ کر کے ختم کیا ہے؟ اور یہ سلسلہ کب سے شروع ہوا؟ شکریہ
