Hi Alessandro - you are 100% correct, and you did a great job with sourcing and supporting ... the obvious truth! These bots have not only damaged political discourse, it makes me wonder WHY. It's clear in many cases that electoral outcomes are "guaranteed" so why are these bots out there doing this? It causes so much ancillary damage and in my opinion, is destructive even to the forces that organize and deploy them. This has been going on a while - and I think the wave has "crested" and the Musk-driven war on Twitter is sort of ... I would not be surprised if Twitter closed down. https://medium.com/real-in-other-words/bot-or-not-how-you-can-stop-the-fake-robots-destroying-politics-science-and-business-e9a0f8d4f9b1
