According to him, the latest false narrative of the Russian operation Storm1516 targeting the French presidential campaign, published on Friday, October 9, apparently gathered only a few tens of thousands of impressions. The previous one, published on September 24, had obtained millions during the same period, he noted. He added that Kremlin disinformants seemed less effective without their bots. #désinformation #Kremlin #cyberattaque (translated)

Miró criticized that the left was spreading a graphic that was supposed to prove that the AfD was supported by bots from Russia. According to Miró, the image lacked source citations; it was also unclear which activity was measured by whom and on which platform, and how the results were compared to those of other parties. A more detailed investigation, according to his account, had revealed that both the data and its interpretation were completely useless. In conclusion, he commented on the graphic ironically. #Politik #AfD #Faktenprüfung (translated)

Stepsen wrote that a post pinned to his profile against the AfD received 1,000 likes and 48 comments, most of which disagreed. Previously, the ratio of likes to comments was about 1:1, now it is 20:1. He interpreted this as a sign that many AfD bots had disappeared from X. He also wrote that Russian propaganda was decreasing; this could allow the online discourse to recover. He described the day as good for X, the online debate, and Germany, and contrasted the colors of the German flag with the blue hearts and the Russian flag. #AfD #OnlineDebatte #Deutschland (translated)
