Website Nile Net Online promises Egyptians "true news" from its offices in the heart of Cairo's Tahrir Square, "to expand the scope of freedom of expression in the Arab world."
Its views on America do not chime with those of Egypt's state media, which celebrate Donald Trump's warm relations with Cairo. In one recent article, Nile Net Online derided the president as a "low-level theatre actor" who "turned America into a laughing stock" after he attacked Iran in a speech at the United Nations.
Until recently, Nile Net Online had 115,000 followers on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. But its phone numbers, including one listed as 0123456789, don't work. A Facebook map showing its location dropped a pin onto the middle of the street.
