Context: The CIA intern picked the wrong tweet to unleash the bot farm on. It's totally natural to talk about Iran in some tweet about El Salvador.

Video of it here, since they already began to delete: https://twitter.com/suspendedrobot/status/1599773919933739008
Yeah it's all gone now, only people talking about the bots.
This is honestly a pretty big deal. It is literally definitive proof that no one can deny of the massive amount of bots manufacturing consent w.r.t. Iran. Hopefully someone downloads and shares the video here or something (on our own servers) because that is literally the only proof left.

Wow that's a shitload of tweets lol. Pretty crazy.
It's also so goddamn stupid how they all post the exact same thing. Like come on, they could easily use AI to come up with more varied posts. Are they that lazy? Or incompetent?
I noticed they did the same copy/paste shit with Cuba Libre stuff.
It's low effort because we're the only ones who care to notice.
This is exactly the same quantity and style of post as occurred during their attempt to make something happen in Cuba. It is the same group.
are you aware of any screencaps of that?
There seem to be a few in this video: https://youtu.be/nOc53ePzWok?t=111
Same shtick, "we don't want reform, we want [insert goal of CIA here]". This shit absolutely CAKED twitter for 3 or 4 days. They went full tilt with it on hundreds of tweets to really ram their bullshit through and concoct the lie that something was happening when it was incredibly minor.
The tag for all this back then was #SOSCuba

Remember the Cuba posts? Same style and quantity (but were posted to a lot more than just one thread).
I also think this looks similar to the mass quantity of posting that happens under posts by DSA's International Committee twitter too when the feds deem the posts to be too spicey.
Part of their goal I suspect is to use overwhelming quantity as a means of being the ONLY topic of discussion. Even if people recognise the botting the things the bots are talking about become the only topic and all others get pushed out.
