Wolfgang Ischinger wrote that hundreds of Russian trolls and others were trying fiercely to blame the responsibility for the current situation on events from 1990 or 1997, thereby shifting it to the West. He interpreted this as a sign of Russian weakness and desperation. #Russland #Desinformation #Politik (translated)
Wolfgang Ischinger wrote that he is finally done with trolls and bots. Users who publish inappropriate or insulting posts will be removed immediately from now on. He finds the behavior particularly contemptible because these individuals would not behave so outrageously in a personal conversation. #Respekt #Netiquette #HateSpeech (translated)
The Devil Stockton announced that on Wednesday he will publish another list of over 100 accounts that he described as bots and trolls on X, linked to the troll farm of Szefernakera. He claimed that the information comes from an angry associate of Szefernakera from Andrzej Duda's presidential campaign. He added that Pawka was promoted and left his associates without support, and the list can be used to block accounts. He also asked to share the post. https://t.co/DEXeTfiapQ #trolle #boty #internet (translated)

The ORLEN Press Office reported that Poland was among the cheapest EU countries in terms of fuel prices: diesel was said to cost 2.7 PLN less than in Germany and 1.5 PLN less than the EU average. However, it noted that fuels were significantly more expensive than a year earlier. According to the office, the global fuel crisis, record-low reserves in Europe, the shutdown of additional refining installations, and supply disruptions are driving prices up on the markets. The office claimed that fuel companies and governments can mitigate the effects of the crisis but cannot completely eliminate them. It also accused the authors of false information of spreading AI-generated graphics suggesting fuel shortages and false reports about exports to Ukraine. In response to calls for reducing margins, ORLEN pointed out that over 1/3 of the fuels sold in Poland come from abroad, and prices depend on the global market. As a way to lower prices, the office mentioned reducing VAT and excise duties, referring to this as CPN. It also explained that, in its opinion, current fuel prices resulted not only from oil prices but also from the limited availability of refineries. Over the year, oil prices were expected to rise by 56%, and global diesel prices by 100%. Regarding supplies to Ukraine, the office stated that fuels were sold there at a higher profit than in Poland, and recipients paid in advance. It added that trains did not leave the terminal before recording payment, and the export prices compared by critics did not take into account local taxes. It also accused them of comparing last year's pre-war prices with current ones and attempting to undermine confidence in the state. #Polska #paliwa #kryzys (translated)

DBerber criticized that Russian trolls were spreading the claim of NATO's eastward expansion under his posts every day. He called it a lie and claimed that Mikhail Gorbachev had clarified that there had been no contractual promises against NATO expansion. The Soviet Defense Minister Marshal Yasov had also admitted that such guarantees had never been discussed, DBerber wrote. He accused the trolls of repeating Putin's propaganda and urged them to present arguments or leave his timeline. He wished his other followers a relaxing weekend and wrote that he would spend the time with friends and his Ukrainian husband. #FaktenStattPropaganda #Wochenende #SchlussMitDenLügen #FaktenStattPropaganda #Wochenende #SchlussMitDenLügen (translated)
If you want to have knowledge of what a deceptive world we lived in, read this. If you want to be aware of what awaits us, read this. This may be my most important text. Once, "trolls" were farm workers who wrote what they were dictated. Now troll farms are collapsing because bots are replacing humans. Today, one moderately skilled programmer could control 100,000 bots. Hence the conflicts; troll farms are no longer needed, so why pay them? I saw a troll farm from the outside. I didn't enter their structures, I didn't create a fake account with a flag in the description, and I didn't write under the teachers' strike that children are hostages. I watched from a distance, at the network, at the comments that appeared quickly, too quickly, too consistently, too often on the same issues. And at the company that functioned for years like an ordinary e-PR agency. In 2019, an investigation by Newsweek and the Reporters' Foundation showed that the Wrocław Cat@Net was not just another agency for "creating a presence on social media." It was an organized troll farm. A dozen people managed over 170 fake profiles on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. The content reached millions of recipients. The business was co-financed from PFRON, as the company employed disabled individuals and could offer clients tax deductions. From November 2015 to August 2019, Cat@Net received around 1.5 million zlotys from the State Fund for Rehabilitation of Disabled Persons. From the outside, it looked innocent. An advertisement for teleworking, a student or graduate needed after journalism, working from home, "skillful influencing of recipients." Clients included large companies, small businesses, public administration, private individuals. In practice, accounts were built like characters from a series. A right-wing patriot from Żoliborz, a traditionalist, a student, a chatterbox. A photo from university, a post about lunch, and then, when a scandal erupted, a flood of comments. Teachers' strike - children as hostages, teachers are egoists in expensive scarves. TVP and Jacek Kurski - defense, image warming, attacks on critics. After the death of Paweł Adamowicz, blaming WOŚP and Owsiak, comparisons meant to shift responsibility from public television. What struck the most was not ideology, but flexibility. The farm had business accounts to slander companies, products, and brands, as well as political ones. It worked for TVP, but also for PiS politicians when they needed support before the European Parliament elections. Trolls from the same agency could publicly argue, but only according to a script. It wasn't about beliefs. It was about commission. The trails led journalists further, to the Art-Media agency, to circles associated with "Najwyższy Czas" and "Gazeta Polska," to names in the orbit of Antoni Macierewicz and Bartłomiej Misiewicz. I saw how easily a real person disappears behind an avatar, and the avatar begins to shape a debate that no one explicitly ordered, only paid for the chaos or falsehood of specific events. The troll farm didn't need us to believe in it. It was enough that we click, comment, and recognize as important and significant the voice produced on commission. PiS didn't have to paint the sign "PiS troll farm" on the office door to benefit from it. In practice, within the power camp, there was a mechanism that Newsweek's investigation exposed bluntly. It was fake accounts that coordinated hatred, defended TVP and Jacek Kurski, and attacked Owsiak, WOŚP, and Paweł Adamowicz, along with public money from PFRON that helped sustain this industry. It was a political infrastructure of lies, distorting the image of Poland as "Poland in ruins," pumping propaganda and sowing hate speech under the guise of "ordinary citizens." As long as a troll was right according to the line of power, no one in this environment asked whether the account was real. They only asked whether the post hit the opponent. #InstituteOfTruth #InstytutPrawdy #dezinformacja #trolle #media (translated)
Few people know, but the current minister Nawrockiego @szefernaker was the first troll farmer in Polish politics. He started modestly with a farm of 2,000 trolls, but it was enough to win and distort the image of Poland in social media. It was Pawka and Beata Szydło's team that invented the slogan "Poland in ruins," and his trolls flooded social media with that lie. Today, Pawka pretends to be a serious politician and distances himself from the past. But in the struggle for influence, he has made enemies. Here is a list of 105 trolls and bots controlled by Pawka, which now have the task of manipulating, muddling, distorting, and interfering, as well as clogging the message on X, supporting nonsense and scandals of Nawrockiego's office. By banning, you are depriving the troll farms of the ability to spread deceitful propaganda. For your convenience in blocking, I have checked and noted the list: @paczenko @tereska0721 @samodzielnamysl @Obywatel88 @martini1511 @sebwolo @cfieta @marc_s40 @SapereAu @WiesiekKob @kkkx3k @_patoreis_ @blizejnizdalej @smateusz1221 @co_ja_tu_pacze @nocapukaktos @GACEK300 @realorzelradio @Luk_Urbaan @WJajko @Mr_Robas @PTcza @Macox079 @pablobonzales @marschal1970 @siwixon @BRollie1976 @Piotr_250 @AdamKucinski @Jackob_Cycu @waldijordi @siaja10 @KCJ67 @M_at_koz @dawniejtoby @LukaszR91 to be continued. #polityka #trolle #dezinformacja (translated)
A teraz poważnie. Bo trudno się nie śmiać, kiedy w Kancelarii Prezydenta siedzą amatorzy, ale to naprawdę przestaje być zabawne. Za naszą granicą trwa wojna. Rosja testuje bezpieczeństwo Europy. Europa się zbroi i przygotowuje na scenariusze, które jeszcze kilka lat temu wydawały się nieprawdopodobne. I właśnie teraz szef Biura Polityki Międzynarodowej Prezydenta RP wrzuca zdjęcia polskiego premiera i ministra spraw zagranicznych z Putinem, żeby dowalić im w krajowej naparzance. Przydacz nie jest anonimowym trollem na X. Jest człowiekiem odpowiedzialnym za politykę międzynarodową Prezydenta RP. Można nie znosić Tuska. Można nie znosić Sikorskiego. Można rozliczać każdy rząd z jego polityki wobec Rosji. Ale są stanowiska, na których trzeba w końcu zrozumieć, że nie reprezentuje się partii. Reprezentuje się Polskę. Bo państwo, które na zewnątrz ma odstraszać Rosję, nie może być od środka osłabiane przez ludzi, którzy politykę zagraniczną sprowadzili do partyjnej wojny z własnym rządem. #Polska #Polityka #Bezpieczeństwo
Mam już pierwszą listę ponad 100 profili X z farmy trolli @szefernaker'a, jutro o godzinie 8.00 rano pokażę kogo banować. Po pierwszym zerknięciu, uprzedzam, nie oczekujcie sensacji to w większości bezmyślne boty, zaraz zajmę się przeglądaniem i spisywaniem nicków.

Uwaga! W środę będę miał pierwszą listę ponad 100 profili X z farmy trolli @szefernaker. Lista jest od typa z którym Pawka współpracował od kampanii prezydenckiej @AndrzejDuda, ale poszło "na noże" o kasę i władzę. Będzie co banować, to w większości bezmyślne boty. Poproszę RT https://t.co/pC0bdFw5nt #trolle #boty #socialmedia
Jest pewne, że wysyp ruskich trolli świadczy o tym, iż szykuje się kolejna fala dezinformacji i zastraszania Europejczyków, siania zwątpienia wobec własnych zdolności obronnych Polski i sojuszników, a także podburzania wobec Ukraińców. Trzeba konsekwentnie banować to tałatajstwo! #dezinformacja #trolle #Polska
