    Propaganda: "Russia spread fake news via Twitter bots after Salisbury poisoning"

    Title is corrected:

    Russia UK spread fake news via Twitter bots MSM after Salisbury poisoning

    Russia used trolls and bots to unleash disinformation on to social media in the wake of the Salisbury poisoning, according to fresh Whitehall analysis. Government sources said experts had uncovered an increase of up to 4,000% in the spread of propaganda from Russia-based accounts since the attack,– many of which were identifiable as automated bots.
    ...
    But civil servants identified a sharp increase in the flow of fake news after the Salisbury poisoning, which continued in the runup to the airstrikes on Syria.

    One bot, @Ian56789, was sending 100 posts a day during a 12-day period from 7 April, and reached 23 million users, before the account was suspended. It focused on claims that the chemical weapons attack on Douma had been falsified, using the hashtag #falseflag. Another, @Partisangirl, reached 61 million users with 2,300 posts over the same 12-day period.

    The prime minister discussed the matter at a security briefing with fellow Commonwealth leaders Malcolm Turnbull, Jacinda Ardern and Justin Trudeau earlier this week. They were briefed by experts from GCHQ and the National Cyber Security Centre about the security situation in the aftermath of the Syrian airstrikes.

    @Ian56789 has long been a prolific Tweeter. He has Tweeted support for Ron Paul in the past, and apparently that is evidence that he is a Russian bot (because he's not really an American).

    It occured to me after posting this that in addition to being a Russia Bot propaganda piece, it may have been a ploy to identify two prominent anonymous government critics on Twitter. If that is the case, it worked, as it did draw them out.

    It's a clear dehumanizing tactic to call these people bots. There are a few other twitter users who were recently smeared by CNN, BBC and The Times because of Syria. The news outlets all targeted different people but released the reports around the same time.
