FTA:
> Saudi Arabia’s state-run media apparatus were found to be “engaged in coordinated efforts to amplify messaging that was beneficial to the Saudi government.”
The person you're responding to didn't say anything about bots. These are state-funded efforts to manipulate the platform.
- striking 7y agoI wonder at what point we're allowed to accuse people of having not read the article.
- excursionist 7y agoWhat is the methodology for determining that an account is part of a state-funded manipulation campaign? Also, is 'state-funded' necessarily worse than 'privately-funded'? How does twitter know who funds an account? Twitter has a history of banning people simply because their opinions are unpopular, so these claims don't hold much weight.
