A lot of hateful content is boosted by Russian bots, there were also instances of bot accounts that went silent with Iran internet blackout.

Another example are conspiracy theory content, and some far right channels - like the case of Tenet Media being funded by Russia.

This is the reality we're dealing with, a constant undermining flow of lies and hate to destabilize western democracies.

The result is in sight, and will only get worse because one of the consequences is that these account gradually give permission to be racist, xenophobic, etc. And LLMs are making this worse.

Of course that there's a sentiment that comes with migrants for example, but it's the disinformation that turns up a notch and blows it out of proportion.
