🇫🇷🇷🇺 French intelligence agencies have confirmed that Russia-linked bot networks are weaponizing the past weekend’s violent riots by flooding social media with old, recycled, and AI-generated fake videos of police brutality to provoke the rioters even further.
Russian networks like “Matryoshka” are acting as digital opportunistic arsonists, intentionally exaggerating the scale of the chaos to simulate nationwide civil unrest.
