"X's refusal to remove content that it knows is false and deceitful - as it was duly informed by RSF - makes it complicit in the spread of the disinformation circulating on its platform," RSF director Antoine Bernard stated.
RSF's investigation revealed that an account called 'Patricia,' claiming to be a translator in France, planted the seed for the disinformation, using a profile picture sourced from a Russian site.
The fabricated video, which falsely claimed that RSF conducted a study proving Ukrainian soldiers sympathize with Nazism, was designed to manipulate public perception in favor of the Kremlin’s agenda.
False claims about Ukraine being a pro-Nazi nation are a key propaganda strategy for Russia, aimed at garnering support for its ongoing war initiated in 2022.
