FOLLOWING Independent Media’s exposé on smear campaigns aimed at tarnishing the image of Dr Iqbal Survé and his businesses, cracks and panic disguised in Twitter humour have started to show on forces behind the smear campaign.
Independent Media investigations unit on Monday published an exposé, extracted from data analysis by a team of technology and analytics experts, on how social media platforms such as Twitter were mechanised since 2019 to discredit and tarnish the reputation of Survé and his businesses.
Displeasure and panic could be felt through characters used by Twitter accounts implicated in the exposé. @ferialhaffajee claims that the article is contrived nonsense aimed at another account that played a key role in the smear campaign @dailymaverick.
