Probably all of them are state affiliated but only this one affiliated with a state the US considers an ally?

This is what I thought reading the article. To be fair, before reading the article I was expecting to find zero disrupted activities related with the west and its allies, but the fact that they disrupted that AI usage by Israel was a good surprise. However, I really doubt that US does not do the same, spreading propaganda in Internet, based on the fact that they employ and finance several radios, and newspapers around the globe with this purpose (ex: Radio Free Asia). Giving how the US government and tech companies are close, with backdoors planted in CISCO routers, and information collected from social media, I find hard to believe that OpenAI or any other US-based company is trusted to report and disrupt activities like these when performed by US government, or perhaps some closer allies.
Yes agreed with all of that. I'm sure this was handled... carefully.
