According to
+972, Act.Il was the centerpiece of a digital campaign called
4IL ('For Israel') announced in 2017 by
Gilad Erdan, then the
Minister of Strategic Affairs, for the promotion of Israel and delegitimization of
Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS). The Act.Il app would assign users 'missions' to challenge social media posts it considered to be
critical of Israel or in favor of the BDS movement. According to
Mondoweiss, an email sent in March 2022 to the app's users announced that the app will be shut down but that users should continue to interact with Act.IL's content on its other social media platforms. The application was relaunched in early 2026 under the name RiseApp with the former Act.IL owners partnering with
Reichman University for the release and also transferring the former Act.IL userbase to the new service. == See also ==
