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.

Durch den erfolgreichen Angriff der Ukraine auf das russische Datenzentrum Yandex geht offenbar die Aktivität rechter Trolle auf asozialen Netzwerken wie X massiv zurück, u.a. auch jene von pro-Trump und pro-AfD Bots.

Timothy Snyder @timothysnyder.bsky.social · 2d

Well, it’s a quick take, and no doubt data will come in, but it sure looks like based on today’s evidence that a lot of pro-Trump and pro-AfD bot work depends directly on Russian data centers.

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. ⬇️

Jay in Kyiv @jayinkyiv.bsky.social · 3d

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.

Pour ajouter à la liste : Kiev détruit des data centers russes, l’activité de bots pro-Trump et pro-AfD s’effondre sur les réseaux sociaux www.franceinfo.fr/monde/europe...

Les frappes de drones ukrainiennes sur des data centers en Russie ont-elles donné un sérieux coup à la désinformation pro-russe ?

Trois centres de données de Yandex, le "Google russe", ont été visés par Kiev en l'espace de quatre jours. Mais est-ce que cela a vraiment réduit le pouvoir de nuisance des désinformateurs pro-Kremlin...

Guardate questi numeri: da quando sono stati colpiti i datacenter di Yandex, l'attività su alcuni subreddit a tema politico, sia europei che americani, si è ridotta sensibilmente.

Il livello di inquinamento delle nostre democrazie da parte delle bot farm russe è GIGANTESCO.

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
