I see russian bots commenting on Facebook all day every day for the last 4 years. Today one glitched and commented on a completely unrelated post under the name "hispanics for Trump" on a post for a car.


Krebs has an article with evidence on this phenomena as well: https://krebsonsecurity.com/tag/twitter-bots/

Edit: Specifically https://krebsonsecurity.com/2017/08/twitter-bots-use-likes-r...


So that is your Russiagate story? That is the collision we spent 4 years talking about?


Russian bots... the lefts favorite cop out argument of 2020. Please provide an example, otherwise your claims are nothing but rhetoric.


Dude, there actually are Twitter bots every where. I see multiple accounts posting the same exact tweet over and over. You look at their profile and its a obvious its manufactured history. Have you even tried looking?



You seriously believe it hasn't happened?


This is HNN.
