How do you detect and block coordinated troll farm attacks when they use arrays of LTE modems and look like a a bunch of passionate users?


That should be relatively easy for the mobile carrier, they're always in the same spot.


And how does the carrier know that someone just didn’t say to check out example.com at a conference with thousands of people in attendance?


I'm talking about their spatial position. They're literally in the exact same spot all the time, they're not attached to little robots that try and move like people at a conference.


Ah, makes sense!
