What the article really does is challenge the notion that bot behavior on social media is down as there is a significant lack of evidence. The burden of proof lies with the one who makes the claim, in this case, a European Parliament MP and the Ukrainian government (namely: Zelensky who repeated the claim).
As there is no evidence yet, and the only ‘evidence’ being touted so far does not in fact show what they say it does, the notion is falsified until further evidence is provided.
I’m sure people are happy to think social media has been ‘cleaned up’ a lot more, but I have yet to see any verified and reliable evidence that isn’t just ‘well I feel like’.
