Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Did I just wake up in 2020 again? What's next? Are they accusing Chinese bots for ruining their breakfast?
Funny you should say, CNN was saying China and Iran are deploying bots rn.
the usual gang is back just in time huh, and the 'Jill Stein Russian asset' bit too
I would be more surprised if they weren't. I would be especially surprised of there was even a single country that didn't use bots to try and interfere with US elections. Why wouldn't they? This is like sabotage 101.
What I do find frustrating is how we pay the CIA and FBI bazillions of dollars each year to stop things like this, but instead they use the funding to smuggle heroin or some shit. And instead of reporting on how alphabet agencies have zero accountability and do heinous shit, the focus is on something that may as well be "China is breathing air!"
If they policed that and created a precedent then they might no longer be able to do it themselves as easily
Sometimes I really hate myself that I joking predict something like this in my head while cooking and shit and comes true.
Ex-aide to NY Gov. Hochul charged as Chinese agent
I'm just waiting for the democrats to suddenly become very concerned about the MIGRANT CONVOYS the republicans usually trot out every four years
Judging by the fact that the HarriSS campaign is releasing attack ads harping on how Trump shot down a border security bill, they are already concerned about it.
Don't you know, we on hexbear are merely an isolated SeeSeePee bot farm!
