Hello Mark, there is so much narrative about the Yandex data centres and Russian bot activity, which seems to be a gish gallop, in the west, people seizing upon it as some sort of victory. Liz Cheney and many others posting AI images about it! Yet other reports state this information is mostly incorrect as the graphs of bot traffic may actually be web indexing activity. Are you able to shed light on whether massive bot activity is happening/affected? Apparently rebuilding or re-routing is already in progress in any case.

Matt Harris, I couldn't give a flying fuck about Maga Bots, Russian bots, US bots, Kiev regime bots or any other bots - way below my radar. But this may be of help

Ok, tell me what you really think Mark…. 🤣 I get that it’s not your bag to unpack misinformation necessarily but this ties in with the hybrid war and as has been commented on in many places, Russia doesn’t give much time to these matters, whereas in the west they allow for consent to be further manufactured for continuing resources for war or conflict. Until the information space war is really gotten on top of, this is one front that the west is winning on. Possibly the only one.

Do you believe there's really a serious split here or that its mostly about domestic politics in US and collective west panicked and making another concerted effort to get a "Minsk 3" to save its proxy regime?
