Recent claims circulating on social media suggest that the Australian government has designated George Soros, a well-known philanthropist and investor, as a global terrorist. However, these assertions are entirely unfounded and fabricated. The Australian government has not listed George Soros as a terrorist individual or organization, nor has it included the Open Society Foundations in its list of terrorist entities.
Several social media users, influencers including propagandists have made posts on social media. And claimed that Australia’s government has declared George Soros a global terrorist.
Fake news peddlers and propagandists account @jpsin1 and @Modified_Hindu9 made social media posts on X (Formerly Twitter) and said. “Breaking News:- Australia declared George Soares a global terrorist!!”
Several other users have also made the same claims; their posts can be seen here @Anant60056864, @baghel_vee9588.
The truth behind the claims, Fact Check
As soon as the posts containing the claims came to our notice, we conducted research and analysis but couldn’t find credible sources supporting the claims.
During research, we visited the official website of ‘Australia’s National Security’. We found a list of terrorist organisations listed under the Australian criminal code.
The Australian government’s official list of terrorist organizations, as outlined in the Australian Criminal Code, currently recognizes 30 entities as terrorist organizations. George Soros and the Open Society Foundations, which he founded, are not included on this list.
Hence, it is evident from D-Intent Data’s Fact Check that the claims about George Soros being declared a global terrorist by the Australian government are false and self-invented. These claims are nothing but false and self-invented propaganda.
Intent
Social media users and influencers including propagandists are circulating false and self-invented claims about George Soros to set their narrative.
Conclusion
Claim- The Australian government has declared George Soros, as a global terrorist.
Fact- These are false and self-invented, no such reports came to light. No credible sources support the claims. The Australian Criminal Code currently recognizes 30 organizations as terrorist entities. And Soros or Open Society Foundations is not mentioned among them.
