Forget about whether russia had used the bots to influence elections. I was really surprised that Hillary with all the Silicon Valley support couldn't built a team to counter these.
On the election day, the Trump tweet in the morning got a million favs and Hillary hardly got 200K. When I looked at it, I was shocked about how dismal Hillary's tech team is.
- codezero 9y agoIt’s hard to tell what you think Hillary should have done better, can you elaborate?
- vthallam 9y agoYes. For a start, realizing the impact of the bots on FB and Twitter and countering them with more bots. There's some really dark stuff on FB groups and twitter bots which reply with images to popular accounts. You could counter by bots which could favorite better tweets and stop the propaganda.
- codezero 9y agoYou think she wouldn’t have been derided for the use of bots, but the already effective and operational botnet working against her?
