I may be wrong, but that seems to miss the key point - on Twitter, there was an initial 12 hour period of almost no visibility, then the hate bots, then visibility.

Bots you could say - well, who knows where they are from - but that delay? and then visibility after the bots? on the face of it, that's Twitter and only Twitter, and means the bots are Twitter too.

Also, the positive bots hitting the posts of that awful video of the mass deportation. If Twitter is running hate bots, it'll be running love bots too.



Interestingly this thread didn't catch any wind here either.
