The Department of Justice (DOJ) has discovered that a Russian bot farm, with over 900 AI-generated fake social media accounts, has been spreading propaganda and disinformation around the US and other countries.
Most of the AI-generated fake profiles look like they belong to American citizens, with biographical information, political ideologies, locations, personas, backstories, photos, friends, and families, and have been posting videos, content, and images to support Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and other pro-Kremlin initiatives. One of these fake profiles professed to be a Bitcoin enthusiast and a free speech absolutist, from Minneapolis, who was opposed to the New World Order.
The DOJ has confirmed that an ‘unnamed’ RT (Russia’s state-owned media outlet) editor was responsible for the bot farm after RT leadership approved plans to “distribute information on a wide-scale basis.”
The ‘unnamed’ RT editor bought two domain names that they then used to create two email servers which were then used to create 968 email addresses, which were then used to create fake social media accounts. AI-enabled bot farm generation and management software–Meliorator–was used to generate the images, videos, and personas for each of the 968 profiles. Most of these profiles were generated on X (formerly Twitter) as security restrictions can be more easily bypassed, using specific software.
Although X has since suspended the fake accounts for terms of service violations, it’s not known how many people followed them or integrated with their content, so investigations will continue.
No you can’t. You’re spinning.
You zeepers think that everyone who is opposed to billions of our tax dollars going unaudited to a known money-laundering operation is “pro-Russia” and “pro-Putin.” (And those are the milder terms the zeepers use.) You think that those of us who aren’t happy about our tax dollars helping to fatten Biden’s and his henchmen’s bank accounts are “Putin puffers,” or whatever ridiculous names you erroneously sling at us.
The majority of FReepers are against this grift. That’s because this is a conservative site. An American site. Not a Ukrainian site.
The site owner has even told you zeepers to stop slinging those insults, but you just disrespectfully ignore him.
“Which FReeper accounts are pushing Russian propaganda?”
You are clown
Clowns to the right of you, Putins jokers to the left..
Hehehehehee PIF can’t name anyone because it would be defamatory and likely actionable.
PIF lied.
Clown, you should tone down your act at FR/ You’re minimally entertaining and add zero knowledge. Get into a burlap sack and box with yourself. Clown.
I should tone down my act?
You Ukraine supporters tell the rest of us that we’re secretly russians, russian bots( Hillary is that you), or support Russia because we disagree with sending billions to Zelensky.
You guys tone down your act.
I linked you to what Jim said.
If you can’t deal with it and can’t stop hurling accusations of “you’re all russian bots” at everyone then it is your problem not mine.
You’re an idiot. You can’t find anything to substantiate your ridiculous, lying accusations, so you just make things up. You’re such a stinky-diapered Biden tool.

Buzz off, lying Democrat troll.
There’s also this one that these trolls flat-out ignore:
“We are conservatives. Be respectful to your debate adversary (fellow FReeper). For example, do not accuse them of being a “Putinista”, “comrade”, “murderer”, “baby-killer”, etc, just because he may have a difference of opinion whether or not the US government should be involved in a controversial foreign war where we were not attacked.” - Jim Robinson

They’re just here to sow discord and they’ve gotten worse since Biden’s deficiencies have become too obvious for the media to cover up. Cornered rats are vicious.
I rise to second the motion!
Yeah, noticed it too.
Doubt they will even bother acknowledging that he said it.
Go clown yerself, then you will at least have an audience of one.. ... Your Putin propaganda gets boring.
I’m adding to Darksheare’s post, Jim. This guy dennisw came out of nowhere, calling me the usual stupid names and issuing the usual false accusations of being a Russian troll, and a “Putin stooge.” This was without my having posted to him; he just started with the unsubstantiated flaming.
He is unable to find any evidence of my having posted in support of Putin or Russia because no such thing exists, but he continues to post flagrant lies and attacks on my patriotism.
I have expressed my opposition to billions of our tax dollars going unaudited to a known money-laundering operation as have pretty much all conservatives. This does not equate to support for Russia or Putin.
I and many others have become weary of these people slinging their nasty names and false accusations at us. These are vicious, angry people who attack unprovoked because we are not Ukrainians and do not support the Ukrainian money-vacuum.
Can you please ask these people to stop acting like the idiots on DU? I am so sick of Democrats and have always seen FR as a kind of refuge from them.
Thanks!
I don’t believe a word of what any three letter agency says.
I will never take Allegra - its terrible medicine.
Enough already!
“The “information” is right out in the open for everyone to see”
In other words, no one. You’ve slimed plenty of people yourself so you have little room to complain.
