Does everyone forget 2015-2016 when the #gru and Cambridge Analytica ran this exact playbook?
#disinformation #trollfarms #trolls

The goal is to get Americans agitated angry with fake links , reposts and retweets (reX’s?) . Bot Sentinel shout out Chris Bouzy was/is fighting this .

Seems we haven’t learned anything. 😞

@clarebee exactly! That's when you realize that #representation matters, and twice as much. #Diversity but also demonstrations of #solidarity and courage, #empathy and decency. #Trollfarms and #bots will systematically seek to undermine people's faith in #humanity, ensuring they prove everything and everyone is shit (therefore, don't bother doing anything to change the status quo). That picture and the actions of these men remind us #humanity does exist & is worth fighting for. #Lineker.

@richard_merren @GottaLaff I understand the security risk part. That's what our governments are having issues with #TikTok. However, if you have spent time on TikTok, I have seen a lot of videos where people posts someone's #negative or #misinformed comments and #educate the rest of us on it. This is where I think those comments are unknowingly from #TrollFarms and the people who are showing them are #Feedingthetrolls.

The dangers of AI: troll farms could use the likes of GPT3 to further obfuscate and flood the field of real information and facts - creating plausible sounding disinformation that takes potentially infinite resources to debunk and navigate

@Candyhog Thanks for the kind words. My #schadenfreude is mainly limited to Elmo himself and to the fact that - I hope - these events really signal the beginning of the end of 'social media' and that we can go back to the days of 'social networking'. Exit the #trollfarms #contentfarms.

What will be "interesting" is how #Mastodon #Moderation will cope with the eventual influx of election related #TrollFarms

Russian, Chinese and others' will eventually dip their toes in

It may benefit from a #Fediverse wide strategy / guidelines

12 hours ago, a #NAFO fella asked "Can we get #vatnik trending on #twitter. Now it is trending, another example of pro-#Ukraine use of #socialmedia outstripping the #trollfarms of #Putin and his #Kremlin subordinates. Expect a lot of sullen faces in St Peterburg Monday morning.
