The other is the same thing said differently. Not misinformation either.
No, bots are not real people, so them masquerading as real people holding an opinion is, by definition, misinformation.
Name a social media platform without bots pretending to be real people.
Probably none. Now I’ll name one that is large and influential, and isn’t trying to combat the problem: X
To claim they’re not trying to combat the problem is a lie. I used to get several bot followers a day around a year ago. Now I got none and I’ve lost a ton of subscribers because the bot accounts are getting deleted. The amount of bots was also the reason Elon wanted to turn down the deal to begin with because twitter lied about it.
Also, misinformation can be combated with community notes. An open source feature I’m not aware of any other social media platform having.
