Users of Elon Musk‘s X, formerly Twitter, signed up to receive a share of the platform’s advertising revenue through its blue checkmark verification program are being ordered to submit photographic identification by July 1 to continue receiving payouts. Some users are crying foul, with the process being handled by Israeli firm AU10TIX. Its chairman and founder, Ron Atzmon, is alleged to be a spy or former spy for the Israeli military.
Atzmon’s LinkedIn page suggests he served as a naval platoon sergeant in the Israeli military. However, reporting by Lebanese newspaper L’Orient Today and far-left watchdog journalism organization MintPress News claims he served with the Israeli internal intelligence service Shin Bet. Shin Bet is a partner agency of the Aman (military intelligence) and Mossad (foreign intelligence) agencies.
Atzom is said to have served in Shin Bet’s Unit 8200, comprised of thousands of soldiers responsible for cyberwarfare and surveillance. Unit 8200’s methods have been questioned in the past, including by its own spies. Forty-three reserve members wrote a letter to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in 2014 decrying its sweeping use of wiretaps.
More recently, Unit 8200 was reported to be using information scraped from Google Photos for facial recognition surveillance. Google, along with PayPal, Uber, and other major firms, is another client of Atzmon’s AU10TIX.
