This is a huge issue in South Africa too. It's become blatant to the point you can often immediately tell if a trending hashtag is being pushed by bot efforts just by looking at the way it's phrased + a few of the top tweets circulating it.
> Everyday new hashtags come up peddling the same misinformation against political rivals.
Is how I've been feeling for the past couple of years at least.
