FBI shuts down massive Russian AI-driven bot farm on X

An investigation by the DOJ has uncovered a Russian bot farm that used AI to create fake social media profiles to post support for Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine.

The United States Department of Justice has seized two domains linked to Russia's wartime disinformation campaign that was used to spread misinformation and fake news on social media. FBI officials said the AI-powered information operation out of Russia included nearly 1,000 accounts on X (formerly Twitter) pretending to be Americans. The investigation uncovered a Russian bot farm that used artificial intelligence to create fake social media profiles masquerading as Americans to post support for Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine. The 968 social media accounts, allegedly connected to Russian State TV RT, were "used by Russian actors to create an AI-enhanced social media bot farm that spread disinformation in the United States and abroad," officials said. Russia has routinely weaponized social media to spread disinformation in an attempt to sow discord within Western democracies. In court documents made public Tuesday, the DOJ said a deputy editor at Kremlin-owned RT was the mastermind behind the plot to spread false information. "With these actions, the Justice Department has disrupted a Russian-government-backed, AI-enabled propaganda campaign to use a bot farm to spread disinformation in the United States and abroad," said Attorney General Merrick B. Garland.

Always remember, RT is wholly owned and managed by the Russian governmnet, and is a part of the Kremlin's continuing efforts to undermine Ukraine, and Western opinion/elections.

I bet they're not spreading propaganda to promote Biden. I wonder who they're working for.

No doubt Mr. Trump, who said at the Helsinki summit that he believed in Vladimir Putin rather than US intelligence agencies regarding Russian meddling in US elections.
 
Back when I ran my own site before VPNs were nearly as prevalent as they are now, I blocked every Russian and Eastern European IP range I could find. Spam and hacking attempts dropped precipitously after that.

This is one of the reasons Trump, MAGA, and Project 2025 want to defund and/or control the FBI. Trump is at least an FBI sympathizer if not more.
 
So, apparently Elon Musk and X have no operation in place to detect and remove bot farm invasions of X.
 
more and more media cannot be trusted

All this hysteria over TikTok and not nearly as much concern from Congress about how a *South African-owned US-based platform probably enables as much algorithmic flooding the zone with shit as Byte Dance does.

*I refuse to believe Elon's truly American. Buying citizenship doesn't make someone loyal.
