Criticism on social media and propaganda that the bots make, guiding public opinion on big events, such as the Tempe tragedy was exercised by the Minister of Health Adonis Georgiadis, In all of the material interview given to Cypriot MEP Fidia Panayiotou.
The Minister of Health has also targeted Russia, saying “they are first in it”, as they are very successful in the bots campaign. According to Mr. Georgiadis, it is “a kind of war”, which took place in Greece then with the Tempi. “We found millions of accounts on social false. We have no evidence that they are the Russians but some for money they did, “he said.
According to Mr. Georgiadis, At that time, authorities in Greece identified “millions of accounts that one day had a” Ludmila “name and the next day became” Pheidias “. I don’t accidentally be misunderstood. Well, and suddenly the accounts that wrote on the other issue, I know, in which I am a member of the planet, were involved in the Tempi. It was obvious that some had an interest in having a Greece a destabilization. Now that you are a MEP, you understand that politics is not a simple thing. They are interests, geopolitical, money. So, end, anonymity, finally to other bots. “
“Someone wanted to become chaos in Greece”
Asked if behind what he complains about is the Russia, Mr Georgiadis said that “Russia did not necessarily do this. I said that Russia has a great deal of power in this area. The Greek authorities have announced that there was a boot attack in Greece then. Whether Russia did or some other force has not been proven. ”
He estimates that Russia could be behind the attack. It could not be. It is certain that Greece was attacked by a boot. Proven, it is not discussed. After all, someone who wanted to become chaos in Greece did it. “
As he explained, manipulation is done on existing problems. “You can’t easily manipulate a public opinion if all goes well. Obviously, in an existing problem, resting where he mobilized the world and his emotion and his sadness and his anger for many and just things, on the actual event that existed the online attack came and set fire. On the real problem, some forces invested for Greece to fall into chaos, “he said.
Social media ‘have brought to the surface a toxicity’
Mr. Georgiadis also referred to the climate on social media, which he said, on the one hand they have a lot of good on the other. “They have brought a toxicity to the surface, you enter x, I say now under the name of your friend Elon Musk, you enter the x and what threats, threats, curses are falling, these are not nice things, and you will have accepted such a thing, and I accept.”
He also noted that he is uncontrollable. “I personally am very much against anonymity. I believe that all accounts must be mandatory branded. You want to find, Lord, find, but you will suffer the consequences of your actions. If you exceed the boundaries, I will be able to sue you. Not to put an anonymous account or you have a boot and you sit and find or die my children or get cancer without getting anything, “he added.
