This is similar to the famous "come to Besiktas!" posts. Or to whenever a Turkish or Egyptian footballer comes to a certain team, you can be sure that said team's social media channels will be inundated by Turkish or Egyptians fans for the duration of the player's stay. In other words it is spamming, but it is not State-sponsored spamming, like it happens with Israel.
