More Denial For You

02/21/2020 4:38 PM

Revealed: quarter of all tweets about climate crisis produced by bots

Draft of Brown study says findings suggest 'substantial impact of mechanized bots in amplifying denialist messages.

An analysis of millions of tweets from around the period when Donald Trump announced the US would withdraw from the Paris climate agreement found that bots tended to applaud the president for his actions and spread misinformation about the science.

I wonder what proportion of the tweets has been produced by a few CR4 persons, along with President iDJT.

They are only guessing they are bots....this sounds like most of the info coming from the left, always with a qualifier ...

..."However, a number of suspected bots that have consistently disparaged climate science and activists have large numbers of followers on Twitter. "...

They don't seem to know anything for sure, just unnamed sources and speculation by obviously biased authors, published in obviously biased publications....

..."The study of Twitter bots and climate was undertaken by Brown University and has yet to be published."...

The Russians are on Bernies side, a fellow communist, no surprise there....

..."US officials reportedly told Bernie Sanders that Russia is trying to help his presidential campaign"...

And you, who are sitting at a laptop with no personal knowledge of these events, are ONLY GUESSING that THEY are guessing.

The rest of your statement is just more of your Google work to find support for your position!

Have fun.

Really... and you have ‘personal knowledge’ better that anyone else’s ‘personal knowledge’ means nothing considering you used to rely so heavily on ‘Occupy Democrat’s’ as a resource.

Anyways, here’s an excerpt from your link...

” The researchers examined 6.5m tweets posted in the days leading up to and the month after Trump announced the US exit from the Paris accords on 1 June 2017. The tweets were sorted into topic category, with an Indiana University tool called Botometer used to estimate the probability the user behind the tweet is a bot.”

nothing in detail is mentioned on the metric’s used on the Programming of this botometer on how the tweets are sorted and categorized.

And frankly,... Why are you criticizing the use of google, you’ve been the google master for such a long time...

Yet 10 percent of young people make up 80% of tweets..

Who gives a rats ass?

I tweet every year or two... or three or four.

I pay attention to them even less.

You just threw a wrench in the botometer results.

Did that 10% of young people make up of 80% of tweets come from botometer...

speaking of botometer, we see it in action entering data and calculating the results... I always wondered what happened to SNL old props...

Your figures aren’t quite right, but the gist is understood...

and like a lot of liberals posts,... the data details aren’t there, such as which age groups or combinations, the botometer used where the bots are coming from. And like a lot of data lyn posts,... when you start to look at the data details,... it begins to fall apart... fortunately for lyn,... By that time, he’s on a different lyn-bot post.

again,... I’ll my groupies Mark this off-topic.
