Has anyone checked on ozma?
The accounts on social media platform X have since been banned.
Ah dang, it was just focused on Twitter. Nevermind.
I blocked that Russian troll awhile ago and my feed is so much better for it. There’s a couple of em that I did the same to and I haven’t missed anything.

This is a good start. How about going after Russian payments to GOP politicians too?
So how would they manage to prosecute anyone if Russia goes in and buys shares of Truth Social (Trump Media Group) and keeps shoring up the price when Trump starts dumping shares after his moratorium runs out?
I'm trying to figure how this scam gets punished.
The U.S Justice Department said on Tuesday that it disrupted a Russian operation that used fake social media accounts enhanced by artificial intelligence to covertly spread pro-Kremlin messages in the United States and abroad.
…
The Justice Department secured court approval to seize two domain names and search nearly 1,000 social media accounts allegedly associated with the effort.

Figures it's Xitter.
I'm seeing another paragraph between those two now, might have been updated after you posted this but the full quote is
The U.S Justice Department said on Tuesday that it disrupted a Russian operation that used fake social media accounts enhanced by artificial intelligence to covertly spread pro-Kremlin messages in the United States and abroad.
The news comes four months before the U.S. presidential election, which security experts widely believe will be the target of both hacking and covert social media influence attempts by foreign adversaries. Senior U.S. officials have said publicly they are monitoring for schemes intended to disrupt the vote.

I forgot to add the ellipsis. Fixed.
Fair enough, it was definitely background information that I can understand omitting, but making it clear it was omitted (especially when it's coming from a source that some users won't be able to access) is important imo
Thank you for updating!
agreed

Is that why there are fewer porn bots now?
I wonder if we'll see less traffic here
I wonder if centrists will ever stop feigning McCarthyist paranoia as an end-run around having defensible positions.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!"

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
