I mean, they've been all over Reddit running accounts for decades at this point, no? At this point I feel like 75% of my interactions on mainstream sites are going to be from foreign agents and/or bots.

They've got to be at least 75% of /r/worldnews.

[–] filister@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They simply ban you there for a mere criticism of Israel, which has nothing to do with their T&C. By now this subreddit turned into an echo chamber of likely minded bots and trolls.

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

They will site ban you for reporting the shill accounts too, even when they're flagrantly violating the TOS.

You can trust me. I am human.

On a completely unrelated matter have you thought about therapy but don't have the time to see a therapist in person? Try Better Help.

And they keep telling us Russia and China are the threat we need to be afraid of

The real enemy was marketing this whole to time.

"He's going after that anti-marketing dollar, that's a lucrative market."

Wait till you find out what Russia and China are doing on Facebook

[–] K1nsey6@lemmy.world -4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What they might be doing is still not as much a threat to society as what the US and its allies do.

Why not both?

forget to pay your bill and Zuck will throw you to the wolves

[–] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 11 points 1 year ago

Yeah. I'm not buying for a minute that anything was "discovered", other than that they didn't pay their protection bill. Meta/Facebook seems to have tolerated worse and more obvious abuses for decades.

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I just assumed that almost all activity on faceboot are bots.

[–] BreadstickNinja@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Bots and grandparents getting fleeced by bots.

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

But how can we say no to helping the Prince of Nigeria!?

[–] NoSpiritAnimal@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Any post about Israel on Threads still has a comment section filled with non-posting accounts that only comment water-muddying dreck about Hamas.

It's rampant. Hasbara is busy.
