„Mai puțini boți rusești online după atacurile asupra Yandex”. Dar este adevărat? Ce s-a întâmplat după ce Ucraina a lovit repetat „Google-ul Rusiei”

Ukrainian attacks on Yandex data centers have temporarily disrupted Russian cloud services, leading to a significant drop in bot activity on social media platforms. Observers noted a 99% decrease in bot activity linked to Yandex, particularly affecting pro-Trump and AfD support on social media. Ukrainian President Zelensky remarked on the reduced online hate and division following the attacks. However, some experts caution that the observed decline may be misinterpreted, attributing it to Yandex's indexing bots rather than disinformation accounts. Further analysis is needed to understand the full impact of these attacks on online influence operations.
