The Russian bots on Facebook

[Blue Full Moon]

Zuckerberg needs to be forced to remove the bots spreading propaganda on Facebook. Almost all pro Trump comments on there are bots. This is actually a national security threat.

1. They're easy to spot

But thanks to fake Ai images, not as easy as years past.

2. Totally agree especially about him needing to be forced to do it

You're completely right here! Social consensus or it appearing like "everyone" agrees with you is very powerful and I think the bots are the main reason Trump still has so much support.

The solution is states should force Facebook to remove the bots since I suspect the federal government isn't going to do it now because of the current makeup of congress and of course the president is totally owned by Putin.

Another thing we should all be doing is teaching students to recognize bots and fake news like what Finland is doing: https://apnews.com/article/fake-news-classrooms-finland-russia-194b32d8829838bfe47469d6ff357689

7. I trust the average of the polls, more than the 'bots'....

anyway I hardly view 'Facebook' any more,
even though refusing to go there very much
leaves me more disconnected to my extended family....

3. What should we watch for?

4. I think Threads is where they are the worst

Threads is a pseudo X running off of Instagram.
It's all Zuckerberg. FB, Instagram, Threads.

10. They usually on their profile say digital creator

Then pictures that are all AI. Now they have branched out to impersonating military and law enforcement jobs. All the pictures of AI.

5. Zuck is MAGA

He made up with Trump, criticized Biden, and otherwise does not care about anything except making money.

Why do you think he cares and who is going to stop him?

6. I actually saw them 5 years ago, and that's when I quit FB for good

It was right after January 6th, as I recall. How can people not see what I saw?

8. I always thought the whole social-media reality...

had a really high potential for EVIL. It has potential for GOOD, too, but… People.
By the time I got to the fourth letter of “Twitter”, I was moved to avoid it. It sounded like a new way to be free. It totally missed the fact that 1/3 of us thinks being Free is freedom to be an asshole and not have to answer for our hatred. “Opinion” is now “Truth" in the era of “Alternative Facts”.
I think it’s a Fatal Flaw, and it’s manifest a million times a day, and the “arc of Justice” is clearly NOT on the rise. We have a lot of work ahead to rescue our Humanity from the Swamp we’ve created.
ONE post could light the Fuse.
It’s no longer an “if”, but a “when”.

9. Zuckerberg should.....

but he won't. He's pro-fascist, as long as he's on the fascists "nice" list.

11. There's no easy way to report them, though.

I report jack-holes all the time, and "This is a bot account" is never one of the options.

For the record, not a single racist, bigoted, or false information post I have alerted on has ever been taken down.

12. Report fake profiles

They use to delete them. Now there is community standards. Facebook and others needs to be regulated.

13. Sadly, it could be too late

They have already done so much damage and they have a lot of power.
