      The main ‘bot’ in question has a stunning 151 followers (mostly from other bots that social media is swarmed with) and has comments full of people relentlessly calling them a bot. If a few dozen bots with meagre followings on social media is what our ‘electoral interference’ amounts to, I think we’ll be fine.

      Clear they are on reddit as well trying to make their opinions seems more mainstream and always steer the conversations to certain topics….

      Vote reform if you want our country being influenced by the Russians trying make us weaker.

      Cambridge analytica all over again. It worked for Brexit, why not run it again for Reform?!

      Honestly it has to either be bots or some paid activist scheme.

      Every single political Livestream since the election has started, has been filled with people spamming vote reform, regardless of the context.

      Now I realize that many of the far right electorates are lebotomites, but even then, that sort of stuff doesn’t just happen normally.

      I can not speak for who is fake and who is not but the past week my Twitter timeline has been flooded with pro Reform posts / accounts.

      I am blocking them, but there is no way it is “natural” money has to be changing hands for them to be appearing on my timeline.

      Tik Tok comment sections are littered with “Vote Reform” bots.

      I console myself with the thought that the people responding to it aren’t old enough to vote or won’t vote anyway.

      Well I got banned from UK Politics for being snarky about them so I’d say so.

      Wouldn’t it be really funny though if we all voted reform just to split the Tory vote ahaha

      I believe there are bots like this everywhere, probally for all the parties. Its a massive issue on social media in general too. The internet is just swarming with the things.

      It’s election season folks.

      Lots of political mis-information flowing on both sides across all social and regular media.

      Please keep your wits about people

      On Twitter I am bombarded by pro Farage and Reform rubbish, despite them being very much not my politics. I’m guessing Putin is very keen on him, and getting help from his pal Elon.
