Thousands of pro-Trump bots are attacking DeSantis and Haley on Twitter

LA Times  

Tens of thousands of fake Twitter accounts have been created to support former President Trump and attack critics and potential rivals such as former South Carolina Gov. Over the last 11 months, someone created thousands of fake automated Twitter accounts — perhaps hundreds of thousands of them — to offer a stream of praise for former President Trump. While the identity of those behind the network of fake accounts is unknown, Cyabra’s analysts determined that it was likely created within the U.S. To identify a bot, researchers will look for patterns in an account’s profile, its follower list and the content it posts. “But the types that we’re starting to see now, with AI, they can create fake people, fake videos.” These technological advances likely ensure that bots have a long future in American politics — as digital foot soldiers in online campaigns, and as potential problems for both voters and candidates trying to defend themselves against anonymous online attacks.
