Alot of victims of these scam botnetworks used purchased account info off the dark net, often inactive accounts, but also not inactive purging of all prior posts and running their respective bot spam networks to continue the process of being/stealing new accounts. best case to change passwords!

Bluesky isn't free from bot networks either.

You have to take into account that a considerable amount of interaction might come from bots that have an agenda to influence general opinion.

Several of the big corporations bots have been known to ignore robots.txt too. Anthropic and OpenAI fx.

But I suspect you are right that now they're hiring botnetworks instead so it won't be as obvious what they are doing.
OpenAI and Anthropic are ignoring an established rule that prevents bots scraping online content
OpenAI and Anthropic have said publicly they respect robots.txt. But they are among the biggest tech companies ignoring the rule, BI has learned.

In cryptofarms (controlled by mafia), which currently funds most trollfarms and botnetworks around the Globe. Not "data centers".
Reupping my thread about Trump's ties to Alexander Smirnov business partner-- and number two guy to Emirati billionaire Hussain Sajwani, who Trump announced will invest $20B in data centers across the US earlier this month.

Are SIM card regulations truly stopping botnets? 🤔 Discussion questions their efficacy, especially for traffic from regions like Russia. Identifying & blocking malicious activity, e.g., via eBPF firewalls, is crucial. #BotNetworks 2/6

Watch the sudden surge of “new” MAGA followers. Many aren’t real. They’re coordinated #AI avatars pushing identical scripts to fake #GOP momentum and manipulate perception. (Gift Article)

Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't feel disconnected to my fellow Americans. I feel disconnected to botnetworks and propaganda this administration is pushing. I think my fellow citizens and I are getting closer as more and more the spell is broken.
The people united can defy the algorithm.
