Okay I don’t feel like searching out articles for your lazy ass but:
Fact 1) Russia has been involved in cyber influencing for years. They largely do this through opinion bots.
Fact 2) Russia was severely limited on internet capabilities with recent strikes.
Fact 3) An absolute butt ton of outspoken conservatives and tankies and shit are all of a sudden “gone”.
Could be a false correlation, but even us laymen can guess R=~0.93
Yeah but I’m not seeing evidence that those bots are gone tho. I saw some graph claiming a dip in Yandex web crawlers. That’s it. And even that, the sourcing of it all comes back to one MP for the European Parliament? Like that’s the whole source? Are we really believing those douchebags?
No, “we” are not.
