    I know that he won’t win a peace prize, But this man needs some recognition for unmasking the Putin regimes’ Paper Tiger status. He’s out there making life just a little better for the rest of civilized society, and has really raised Ukraines’ international profile. There’s no way that Ukraine is not coming out of this as a real power player on the European stage, NATO admittance or not.

    But yeah, drop in the bucket. At least some of these shitty AI bots are gone for awhile. A reprieve is a reprieve.

    Distrust what you’re fed by TV and the press, and to think for yourself rather than accepting any official narratives these days.

    How amazing would it be if Big Z’s long-term strategy was actually to have Trump lose the midterms so he loses enough power that he can’t continue to influence the Ukranian defence so much.

    Kill those data centres and bot farms!!

      Election inference through disabling election interference. The most pro democracy one can be, by better enabling democracy.

    If malicious bot traffic came-out of Yandex’s data centers, its legitimated traffic would be blocked everywhere and yandex wouldn’t have been able to operate such a successful business. There are hundred’s of services that track illegitimate and dangerous bot traffic, such databases are use to block malicious crawlers, bot nets, spam bots, email spams, phishing websites, websites distributing viruses … Yandex can’t afford to allow such activities from its networks.

    Just because Ukraine is the victim it doesn’t mean we should spread fake news propaganda. They failed to produce any tangible evidence, and after many sources started debunking the claims and proving the base material to be AI generated. they brought in Zelensky to give it more credibility. it is disheartening to see such fake news rise at the forefront of social media sites. and be upvoted by the masses that on other occasions were championing the fight against fake news. But as long as it fits their narratives, it is good to pass.

    If even the US’ Cold War anti-communist propaganda station ‘Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty’ states the drop is likely due to Yandex’s crawlers, what does that tell you about the credibility of Zelenskyy (having an obvious conflict of interest) and all Western outlets running with it, by extension? The Russian government might not even need bot farms at this stage, because the West keeps undermining their own credibility: with single-sided, unsubstantiated malinformation of half-truths at best. It’s so obvious to me they’re trying to pass off any critical thinker as being a Russian troll, and trying to escalate the proxy-war by attributing “hybrid-war” sabotages to the “aggressor” (that is conveniently in a weakened state because of it). Yes, Russia undeniably invaded Ukraine, but wouldn’t the US do the same to Mexico if it turned communist, following all of South-America?
