There is a difference between “coordinated inauthentic activity” on social media and “web crawlers.” The former are what people talk about when they are talking about “reply bots” and state-run “disinformation campaigns.” All major platforms have various prohibitions on such campaigns, and coordinated activity (including this garbage platform.)
In general, it is difficult and costly to maintain automated social media accounts that bypass detection mechanisms used by platforms to curb such activity. Instead, such campaigns tend to rely on real humans, as they are cheaper, more varied in their response, and won’t get shut down by ToS violations. They also have to use VPNs or similar IP masquerading in order to avoid country-level blockages. Many platforms like X are not available in Russia, either, adding another technical hurdle for freelance actors. So other countries with low labor costs (India, Philippines, Indonesia, for example) may be employed instead. There is often no practical way to identify this traffic as inauthentic, until perhaps a major campaign pattern emerges, at which point it risks being shut down.
Web crawlers, by contrast, are permitted activity and are used by major internet search providers such as Google and Yandex to “spider” the web and identify new web links and changes to sites. So that content providers know what this traffic is, they label themselves as “bots.” This is valid traffic.
When you see a graph showing a sharp decline in “bot” traffic, it is indicating a change in this valid web crawling traffic. There is no one keeping graphs of “coordinated inauthentic activity” social media traffic; indeed if it was identifiable and graphable like this, it would already be shut down.
So, blowing up data centers in Russia could conceivably hamper coordinated social media campaigns, if for some reason they had a dependency on services hosted there. But given the constraints on such campaigns, they are likely to be run from elsewhere. What has been disrupted, probably, is Yandex web crawler traffic.
If one wishes, for optics, to honor the unilateral imposition of a “energy ceasefire,” blowing up datacenters is a good tactic and should be maximized. Blow them all up.
But don’t pretend this has any meaningful impact on coordinated inauthentic social media activity. It does not, and is a different problem entirely. Pretending otherwise feeds magical thinking, incorrect ideas about how technology works, and reduces pressure on the adversary by claiming imaginary gains.
Keep pressure up, and report gains clearly and correctly. If you want to go after social media campaigns, track them down, monitor their activity, and source their origins. Same as it ever was. Taking out datacenters is a nearly completely unrelated concern.

OPÉRATION TRUMP : LE PARJURE DE PLAMONDON
Paul St-Pierre Plamondon a menti aux Québécois.
Plus tôt cette semaine, il affirmait n’avoir eu « aucun contact », entamé « aucune tentative » pour rencontrer Trump ou des membres de son administration en secret.
Or, ce matin, à 48 heures d’un scrutin crucial, The Gazette nous révèle l’ampleur de l’hypocrisie de PSPP. L’ambassade américaine a confirmé au journal montréalais que le PQ a sollicité des rencontres avec des membres de l’administration Trump. Et les rendez-vous auraient eu lieu en mars, n’eût été la guerre en Iran, qui a contrecarré leurs plans !
Des démarches du PQ, bien sûr, entreprises en catimini, cachées du regard des Québécois. Confronté à ses contradictions et omissions (version polie !), pour toute défense, le PQ bafouille aujourd’hui que ces discussions avec le consulat « ne constituaient pas des démarches officielles ». N’insultez pas notre intelligence en jouant sur les mots !
Plus tôt cette semaine, la négation véhémente de PSPP de ces mêmes faits, ajoutée à son indignation vertueuse et moralisatrice, relève d’une duplicité révoltante.
Il a catégoriquement démenti le tout, allant même jusqu’à accuser les autres partis qui le questionnaient sur ce sujet de donner dans la « désinformation » !
Quant aux médias qui le couvrent, il leur reproche de « distortionner » ses propos.
C’est vraiment le comble de la fourberie.
Comploter en secret avec Trump, qui, c’est public, on le sait, veut annexer le Canada et lui livre bataille par toute la force de son économie, frôle la traîtrise.
De surcroît, l’ingérence américaine dans nos élections plane sur la campagne. Un rapport d’un groupe de réflexion américain (Defense Analyses and Research Corporation) admet clairement qu’il faut apporter un « soutien clandestin au PQ » pour déstabiliser le gouvernement canadien.
Ruth Ben-Ghiat, la grande politicologue experte en gouvernements autoritaires, ainsi que de nombreux experts partout dans le monde, ne cessent de mettre en garde le Canada : la Maison-Blanche de Trump veut aider les mouvements séparatistes afin de fragmenter le territoire canadien. Ainsi morcelé, le Canada sera plus facile à absorber ou à subjuguer.
Plus facile à absorber et à subjuguer !
Et PSPP — cela en ferait presque pitié si ce n’était aussi dangereux — qui pense renforcer le Québec en le séparant du Canada ?
Il ne ferait que mieux l’offrir, tout chaud sur un plateau, prêt à être dévoré par l’Ogre américain, qui se fout, lui, du français, de la culture québécoise, comme il se fiche des Latinos sur son sol !
Si les Américains n’ont aucun respect pour la culture de leurs propres citoyens, comment espérer qu’ils en aient pour celle des étrangers ?
PSPP, non seulement vous mentez, mais vous êtes trop naïf et irresponsable pour diriger la province, étant incapable de jauger les dangers visibles aux yeux de tous.
Québécois, voulez-vous d’un PM comme ça ?

You’ve been seeing very large #bumblebees on the wing for the past while.
Why?
Okay I’ll tell you why in this quick thread if you promise to #retweet as the more people who know that these are queens the more likely that someone will help some out meaning more colonies next year.
Deal?

Today, on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we honour Survivors of residential schools, the children who never returned home, and the families and communities who carry their memories and experiences forward.
Truth must come before reconciliation. It requires accountability and a commitment to addressing the ongoing impacts of colonialism and the residential school system.
Reconciliation is a shared responsibility. The AFN calls on all Canadians to learn the truth, listen to Survivors, uphold First Nations rights, and take meaningful steps toward reconciliation.

New article explaining why if they build a "misaligned" ASI, humanity dies out, but if they build an "aligned" ASI, humanity dies out.
It is VERY VERY important for people to understand what the TESCREAL field of "AI safety" is actually trying to achieve.

Did you know that residential schools operated for over 100 years, impacting generations of First Nations children, families and communities? Survivors bravely shared their stories and helped bring the truth to light.

It’s time to take a look at how those at the top of the economic food chain have taken the bottom 90% by the hand and walked them into economic concentration camps under an arch which reads “Arbeit macht frei," (Work sets you free).
Let me assure you that in the land of the so called free, NOTHING has ever been for free, and the American dream has become a nightmare by design.
Take a listen to Simon Sinek, New York Times best selling author explain the social Darwinism exercise that we now call the workplace.

Now he says he was paid $500 million over 14 years for his performance before signing. The man lacks character. He’s getting really bad advice and he’s too mollycoddled. What a disgrace!
What do you guys think of Vladdy saying he hasn’t felt any pressure due to his lack of performance? It sounds like complacency to me. He’s also previously said he only listens to his father & God. These comments sound like he needs a come to Jesus moment! I agree with @odognine2
I’m still hopeful we’ll learn the lesson inherent in these absurd times. How effing stupid are humans, really? Is this the final input we need to convince us he’s never had any credence? I know, probably not. Rock bottom will come. But really folks, how much more data do we need?
JFC! More teenage sci fi nerd incel wet dreams. These guys are literally cyborgs, completely detached from organic reality. Absolutely incredible how anyone has given any of this garbage credence.
The sad reality is the “AI industry” was infected by Peter Thiel and Elon Musk long ago.
Just as they did with social media, blockchain, and every other technology they’ve touched, they turned LLMs into a weapon to benefit themselves.
They funded and promoted the Rationalist/Effective Altruist doomer cult and its network of influence operations cloaked as “institutes.” They endlessly amplified the mythology of transhumanism, the “Singularity,” longtermism, and existential fear of an AI machine god.
At the same time, they seeded the industry with their own protégés like Thiel’s minion Sam Altman—to try to create the existential monster they claimed to be afraid of.
But why?
Escape.
It is no coincidence that Thiel and Musk were both brought up in apartheid. They were trained to be supremacists who think they can inflict their beliefs onto others.
Thiel gave away the ballgame in 2010:
“But the basic idea [of PayPal] was that we could never win an election on getting certain things. Because we were in such a small minority.
But maybe you could actually unilaterally change the world without having to constantly convince people and beg people and plead with people who are never going to agree with you through a technological means. And this is where I think technology is this incredible alternative to politics.“
The “AI industry” has not created a machine god; it has sucked trillions of dollars into a technological mechanism for the broligarchy to steal humanity’s ideas, art, labor, and resources and sell it back to us as slop.
Everything the PayPal Mafia touches dies.
