Zelenskyy hit another Yandex data center in Russia, and I’m now hearing anecdotal reports that (pro-Republican) bot traffic has gone down considerably.

There is probably never going to be another opportunity like this to study the impact that shutting down this data center has on disinformation bots. I’m looking forward to reading about how many seemingly US-local conservative accounts are actually sock-puppeted from Russia.

It would be sweet irony to learn that Zelenskyy has saved the US midterms by stemming the flow of disinformation, because we damn well know Republicans won’t do the job.
