Watchdog told about fake Fine Gael social media account

Bluesky, which started as a research initiative within Twitter in 2019, is a social media website similar to X, with users able to share short posts, photos, and videos.

The Electoral Commission has been made aware of a fake Fine Gael account on social media platform Bluesky, as a number of parties confirmed they were the targets of fake accounts.

Several parties previously said that fake party accounts were being proliferated on Bluesky, including for Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael, the Social Democrats, and Aontú.
