Bots manipulating you. Who wudda guess?

X revealed the places where people were posting, and a lot of the anti Israel stuff is bots or fake news by folk claiming they were suffering in Gaza but they were actually posting from far away.

heh Who wudda thot?

If you don't have X here is an alternative site:

and of course a lot of similar fake stuff is going on about covid and the vaccines, about the Ukraine,  or fake Republicans who changed their mind and now hate Trumpiboy, 

did you ever notice all those anti Trump  protests that are supposed to be grass roots,   have pre printed signs that are identical (Printed signs cost money and take time to print and distribute.)

a lot of the fake bots are behind the push to get MAGA Republicans to fight among each other and to desert Trump.

given the amount of manipulation about covid, why should one think this is new?

 SHINE ON LITTLE LIGHT, SHINE ON: 

from X: or alternative site. 

 Seeing the sheer number of people on the ‘American online right’ exposed to be foreigners is frankly relieving. Given many of these accounts have been actively stoking the flames of the little civil war we are having on the right at the moment, their locations being posted is huge.

Go into any hot topic political conversation on twitter right now. Go into the comments. Find the most inflammatory comments pushing the hardest and the strongest on the most radical position. You’ll find them filled with people from Europe. India. The Philippines. The Middle East. Australia. Nigeria. Malaysia. I’m batting about 75% in being able to guess who is American and who is not.

well duh. But What about VPN? Does X register the VPN address or the real address?

Just wondering.
