1. Tek Fog

   Tek Fog is a software application operable via a mobile phone, which is reportedly used by the Bharatiya Janata Party to infiltrate social media platforms in order to promote favourable viewpoints through misinformation and target perceived opponents. The application also managed a huge database of Indian citizens, based on occupation, religion, age, gender etc., and delivered targeted insults and criticism. A key function of the software was to manipulate trending features on Twitter and Facebook, by automatically sharing or retweeting posts, and promoting existing hashtags to trending levels. Le Monde commented that it is perhaps the most elaborate online political manipulation operation ever discovoered.Alerted by a disgruntled employee-turned-whistleblower, the independent Indian news publication The Wire conducted a two-year investigation and published its findings in January 2022, reporting that the Tek Fog application was used "to artificially inflate the popularity of the [Bharatiya Janata Party], harass its critics and manipulate public perceptions at scale across major social media platforms."Opposition parties have denounced the app as a national security threat and demanded a probe. The ruling BJP and the prime minister Narendra Modi were silent. The BJP youth wing functionary Devang Dave who is said to have supervised the operations denied the party's involvement.The Wire investigation implicated the BJP along with private companies Persistent Systems and Mohalla Tech (which operates a service called ShareChat) in the deployment of the app. The BJP's youth wing members are said to have supervised the operators, giving them ideological directions. It reported that Mohalla Tech was involved in the management of Tek Fog, and that the whistleblower that revealed information about Tek Fog, was paid via Mohalla Tech as their assigned client, and ShareChat was widely exploited by Tek Fog. The investigation found that Persistent Systems was involved in the production and management of Tek Fog. An internal source within Persistent System confirmed the involvement of the company, with 17,000 files connected to Tek Fog developed by Persistent Systems.MP Derek O'Brien has called for a meeting of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Home Affairs, to discuss the app. Congress has urged the Supreme court to ask its expert panel to investigate the app. The Editors Guild of India condemned "the online harassment of women journalists, which includes targeted and organised online trolling as well as threats of sexual abuse" and demanded steps to break and dismantle the "misogynistic and abusive digital eco-system" of Tek Fog.
