Bots

Description (Dublin Core)

I’ve been struggling to understand the motivations and views of pandemic skeptics. I found this article interesting and provocative. I’m wondering if the echo chamber of misinformation that is social media is being aided and abetted by trolls with bots. I speculate these are the same folks who supported Trump in the last election but there does not appear to be clear evidence to support that.
