Here is evidence that during the early months of COVID, nearly 200 million Tweets about COVID were bots or about 50% of the total, most likely of Russian and Chinese origin and designed to sow dissention within the US: https://www.npr.org/sections/coronaviru ... ikely-bots
American intelligence agencies concluded that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election. Experts believe Russian actors will try to influence the 2020 vote as well, including by using social media to amplify their messages.
Carley with Carnegie Mellon said countering bot accounts on Twitter is not a simple task. Blocked accounts can resurface, and the disinformation networks are sophisticated and difficult to completely root out.
She offers this advice, though: Look out for subtle typos, for tweets being sent out very quickly, or profile images and usernames that appear suspicious.
"Even if someone appears to be from your community, if you don't know them personally, take a closer look, and always go to authoritative or trusted sources for information," Carley said. "Just be very vigilant."
Quoted from the article. You do know hat it has been revealed that US Inelligence agencies were doing this and the other parts of the US government were involved with manipulation of social media? The bots seem to be from US sources as much as foriegn sources. This is what is being exposed by the Twitter Files through Matt Taibbi and Mark Shallenberger. Yes, Mark has Mennonite ties. Mark was Obama's Green Energy guy for a good while.
Seems the claims of foreign interference were a smoke screen for that the US government was doing. I am not saying other governments are innocent. I am saying they are just part of the issue. There are lies being uncovered and secret deals being revealed.
Some of the sources used for these articles were lying and these sources are old. I would not count on their accuracy today.

Try hard not to offend. Try harder not to be offended.
I think I am funnier than I really am.
Google “the Twitter files FBI” and read the journalist’s own words.
So the answer is no, you can't show us an example of an FBI propaganda tweet then?
Google “the Twitter files FBI” and go read mainstream journalism on the topic.
It is your argument. I'm not going to do your own research for you. Tweets are easy enough to post here. You just copy them and paste them. Or you can screen shot them and post them as images.

Why bother? Every time I go to that effort with you, you find another excuse why I’m obviously wrong.

I thought we were talking about tweets. They get posted here all the time.
