When Ukraine destroys Russian data centers, hoards of aggressive right-wing bots disappear & the internet becomes friendlier. So much of politics is driven by the internet & so much of the internet is driven by Russians who want to hurt us. Shouldn’t we do something about that, given that we know it

1/ Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian data centres are having a severe impact due to the highly centralised nature of Russia's digital economy, in contrast to Ukraine's decentralised approach. Fears are growing that it could cause a banking crisis. ⬇️

Ukraine's new campaign of destroying Russia's data centers will prove devastating for Putin's economy and war machine if the White House is unable to prevent it.

The chaos we're already seeing across Russia is only four days into the campaign and 3 facilities targeted.

Bemerkenswert: Putins Rechenzentren kaputt & der Bot-Traffic nimmt massiv ab.

Offenbar sind die Rechtsextremen auch auf Social Media direkt von Putins Unterstützung abhängig.

Wäre eine gute Gelegenheit, um ihre digitale Stimmungsmache nicht mehr mit der öffentlichen Meinung zu verwechseln.

Die Ukraine trifft Putins Rechenzentren – und womöglich Bots

Die Ukraine hat in den vergangenen Tagen mehrfach russische Rechenzentren von Yandex getroffen. Womöglich sind deshalb die Aktivitäten bösartiger Bots gesunken.

Ukraine took out 2 huge data centers, and just like that--POOF! Pro-Trump/MAGA posts on US social media plummeted. Same happened to posts boosting Germany's far-right AfD.

The primary function of those Bots is to boost groups Putin believes will destabilize the west.
#USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Russia's Yandex bot traffic nearly eliminated overnight after Ukraine drone strikes cripple multiple of 'Russia's Google' data centers — Ukraine intensifies bombing of Yandex data centers in response ...

The world is getting a break from Russian bots thanks to Kyiv.

Immediately after Ukraine took out two of the five data centers run by the Russian tech giant Yandex, pro-Trump and pro-MAGA posts on American social media sites plummeted. The same happened to posts boosting Germany's far-right AfD.

Russia is engaged in MASSIVE election interference.
