Like, where is his data? Is there a list of all bot accounts on Twitter, with a column showing recent activity? Or is this guy doing the same thing as the other side - talking out of his ass?
Have you been on twitter recently? [Note that I recommend users do not use twitter]
It’s pretty obvious when for the past two weeks you had every single tweet of yours get spammed replies like “#TRUMP2024 #MAGA” with clearly AI generated profile pictures and fake names. All these accounts have like 20 followers and are following 5k+ accounts. And a bunch of them instantly reply to your posts like 5 seconds after posting. All these accounts have ceased activity overnight.
Nah, I don't go on Twitter. Too many bots.
Probably talking out of his ass. I like to read conservative threads to see comments outside of my bubble - they say the same shit, just about other platforms like reddit.
It's the age of post-truth and I don't think there is a fix for that anytime soon.
Kraut is a decently respected figure with a Phd in central european history.
He may be the inventor of politics for all I care, credentials are no indicator of truth.
A claim such as this needs some data, otherwise it's not much better than any right-wing conspiracy.
Isn’t it obvious from his tweet that he doesn’t have data, therefore, his conclusion must be based on personal experience and input from others. Which is why he doesn’t call for twitter to be banned, but for it to be investigated.
And regardless there have been multiple credible news stories and even US government reports on pro-Trump bot networks on twitter.
It is obvious, you're right. I just feel like the proper course of action wouldn't have been a claim and a demand for an investigation. Maybe ask others for their experiences and link a petition for people to sign, should they share this feeling, and start an investigation that way.
I feel like compiling receipts (a list of known/suspected bot accounts) and then following the paper trail would be a good idea... like Wolverine hunting down the school bomber during Civil War
Arf Arf Arf!
Maybe because that is also true. Reddit is full of bots lately, you have to be blind not to realize that
