Summary
The FBI reported two instances of fake videos using its name and insignia to spread misinformation about the 2024 presidential election.
Likely created by a Russian disinformation group, these fabricated videos falsely claim that prison officials in Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Arizona rigged inmate voting in coordination with a political party.
Another fake video, designed to resemble CBS News, falsely advised remote voting due to a terror threat—a claim the FBI denied.
Researchers say this disinformation group has a history of impersonating news outlets and government entities to sow distrust in U.S. elections.
I’m not from the US
But who over there is following election advice from the fucking FBI
Aren’t they very disliked across the political spectrum?
No one, and anyone who would buy this bullshit is already 100% in it for Trump.
Conservatives don’t like the FBI because “feds”.
Liberals… non-Conservatives don’t like the FBI because of the whole “reopening the case against Hilary” right before the 2016 Election and dicking around with the Trump investigation.Also, some people still have an issue with that little bit of sending death threats to MLK Jr or… gestures at J. Edgar Hoover.
Yup I’m part of the last one with MLK Jr. And their other shady shit.
The list of fucked up shit they’ve done is very long.
This isn’t election advice, it’s false claims that crimes are happening. Generally the police are in charge of investigating crimes.
Because prison officials are notoriously supporters of the Democratic party.
False alarm, I just saw a totally legit-looking FBI video explaining that this was all a prank and to invest in rubles.
Really, that’s weird because I just saw the same video but they said to invest in shekels.
If only there was an agency that could investigate this phenomenon.
Who cares. Republicans are allowed to interfere in elections without getting in trouble. America is fucked and I hope the rest of the world isolates them
Stop them, then.
Aren’t they the FBI?
In a related press release, the FBI announced that they will continue to do absolutely fucking nothing about it.
