Archimedes Group is a Tel Aviv-based private intelligence agency that has operated political campaigns using social media since 2017.[1]

History

Archimedes' chief executive is Elinadav Heymann, former director of the Brussels-based European Friends of Israel lobbying group, a former political adviser in Israel's parliament and an ex-intelligence agent for the Israeli air force.[2][3][4] Other senior executive include Yuval Harel, Flávio Goldberg, Uri Ben Yosef, Ariel Treiger, and Rafi Cesana.[5][6][7]

In 2019, it was banned from Facebook for "coordinated inauthentic behavior" after Facebook found fake users in countries in sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America and Southeast Asia.[8] Facebook investigations revealed that Archimedes had spent some $1.1 million on fake ads, paid for in Brazilian reais, Israeli shekels and US dollars.[9] Facebook gave examples of Archimedes Group political interference.[10] The Atlantic Council's Digital Forensic Research Lab said in a report that "The tactics employed by Archimedes Group, a private company, closely resemble the types of information warfare tactics often used by governments, and the Kremlin in particular."[11]Шаблон:Better source

new sources have emerged that Archimedes Group is heavily involved in a Black project called "Project: Sentinel". Which is based on social media gamification by targeting far-right influencer/s on social media.
