agreed. Since we know bots are meddling and influencing masses via Social Media and indeed had an impact on recent political developments, it is important to stay aware and even a bit alert. Ceuta was a really sucessful RUS campaign. I fear for the midterm elections and hope Bot influence will not win this time.

@Ilka4You@mastodon.social Me too. I was sounding the alarm on bot interference in 2015. Back then their syntax was just a hair off. In College I had a professor I went up to after a test, & asked “Do you do your tests in another language and then translate them? “ He said I was the first person in 20 years to sense that…apparently he wrote them in Latin and then translated them.
