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.

None of which are wholly owned and managed by their respective governments. None of which publish blatant falsehoods that exactly match their governments' counterfactual propaganda lines, day after day and nothing else, mo matter how absurd.
Prove it.
Yes, you’re SUCH a martyr.
Zeepers were spouting threats and gleeful wishes for harm towards Freepers who simply disagree with continuing to fund a proxy war from the beginning.
So please, quit with the melodrama.
Good grief; you are hopeless if you believe that. 🤦🏻♀️
Name names, Chad. Stop dodging. Which FReeper accounts are pushing Russian propaganda?
Proof? just count your members - its not difficult; just start with 1 (you) and go from there
Believing what any news report says without thinking about it is unwise. But news reports particularly those from close to the actual newsworthy event can be accurate.
Not everything reported by the media is true, but there are plenty of sources of accurate information. Those sources contradict your opinions about Ukraine.
Believing what you want to believe instead of the truth is exactly what the media relies on, and what a lot of uninformed liberals and some conservatives do.
Think about that.
Or so you believe.
Who is Trump going to be tomorrow?
Under your theory unless you were attending the race you don't know.
So who won the 2024 Indy 500?
No idea. Sounds like something a fag would be into.
That’s a lame attempt to divert.
Prove it, prove your claim PIF.
So you admit you are unable to count? Even to 1? Poor lad.
You nade the accusations, you prove them.
If you are unable to do so then you are a liar at best.
You are quite the troll - and you are proving my point by being so overwhelmingly defensive. Plus, the name calling kinda cements it.
DARVO action on your part.
And saying that you are a liar at best isn’t name calling, it is the truth.
You are unable to name the supposed russian bots, unable to prove your false assertions.
You lied.
Hehhe. There you go again. I could name at least 650 (including you), but it would create a s-storm. So no - just stew in it.
This is a good “so…” twist.
I say we award the standard 10 “so” points and 10 bonus points just for the sheer ludicrousness. What say you, AMPU?
