        "The figures from the bot-tracking sites illustrate how Russian meddlers continue to manipulate the platform following efforts to use social networks to sow discontent during the 2016 election. Those efforts targeted highly politicized social issues such as immigration, guns.."

        Define "inundate." What percentage of gun-related tweets are they claiming are bots? 5%? 10%? 50%?

        Did trump visit the morgue to see what .223 does to the human body? A headshot exit wound? All NRA politicians should be required to visit a mortuary after a mass shooting like we forced Germans to visit Nazi deaths camps to view the results of their complicity and complacency.

        Does it matter if you don’t follow a bot it doesn’t appear in your timeline...what am I missing?

        It doesn't really matter. They run all kinds of interference with the bots, and quite adroitly.

        If I don’t see it who cares I only follow and read people and journalists I know. I don’t understand how they affect me.

        There are a few articles out there that explain it better, but in brief, the bots are using highly divisive issues like gun control to sew division in America. They create hashtag trends and both spark and fan the fires of our discussions on social media.

        Exactly. Their only aim is chaos.

        Does that mean the cat is out of the bag vis-à-vis Americans being naive and taking most everything at face value? That’s how #American govt has gotten away with selling made up stories to its citizens. Now it’s #Russia’s turn to do the same. #StonemanShooting

        Why couldn’t twitter instantly suspend those accounts they track as bots? And delete their tweets?
