“There's a story going around: after the drone strikes on Yandex data centres, comments on AfD and MAGA accounts collapsed. We monitor 17,000+ politicians, media and civil society accounts in 30+ countries. 50,000+ posts a day. So we checked. We don't see it. 🧵 https://t.co/8quSNosqv0”

“Voici un nouvel indice de l'impact de la destruction des serveurs Yandex sur les bots russes : le dernier faux-récit du mode opératoire russe Storm1516 ciblant la campagne présidentielle française, publié vendredi 9 octobre, n'a apparemment obtenu que quelques dizaines de milliers d'impressions.

Rapid-response fact-check: "Yandex Strikes Caused Russian Bot Activity To Drop By 50 Percent" Is False | Joohn Choe
This is going on viral on Facebook today and it's unfortunately wrong. Ukrainian drone strikes on Yandex data centers in Russia did not cut
Ukrainian drones hit three of Russian tech giant Yandex’s data centers in four days. Ukraine’s president says the bots thinned out too
Lithuania’s prime minister wants more such strikes to protect elections. Researchers say the bot data shows Yandex’s web crawlers, not trolls.
Удари по Яндексу і "зниклі" боти: хто насправді замовк?
Українські дрони вразили дата-центри Яндекса, але реальних доказів масового зникнення ботів у соцмережах немає – дані експертів.

🧵 (Un)surprisingly the Kremlin-aligned Matryoshka bots are still active today. Praising the Trump-Putin diesel deal, they are demanding an immediate lift of EU sanctions against Russia—claiming they are destroying European economies and provoking civil unrest.
