Since when are bots operated by organised disinformation campaigns 'the people'?



The article is very clear these accounts are "bot-like" but don't make a clear claim, simply citing red flags of bot-ness. As noted below, they do not list out the 45 "bot-like" accounts in question, while they do cite specific "divisive political content" that is counter to a progressive political campaign.

So maybe so, maybe not. Not disputing that bots are a problem on X. But in this case, theres an obvious effort to lump in all anti-progressive writing as "divisive political content."
