Bot-spotting tips
The Atlantic Council's Digital Forensic Research Lab (DFRL) offers social-media users tips for spotting a bot:
- Frequency: Bots are prolific posters. The more frequently they post, the more caution should be shown. The DFRL classifies 72 posts a day as suspicious, and more than 144 per day as highly suspicious. [ for hunters- 25,000 per year of operation suspicious 50,000 highly suspicious- ( I think bot builders have gotten smart, and I would consider half those numbers or 12000 per year suspicious and part of a Smurfing bot network
- Anonymity: Bots often lack any personal information. The accounts often have generic profile pictures and political slogans as "bios". ( [they have gotten smart about this now look for generic fake bio]
- Amplification: A bot's timeline will often consist of re-tweets and verbatim quotes, with few posts containing original wording.
- Common content: Networks of bots can be identified if multiple profiles tweet the same content almost simultaneously.(Within seconds of each other)
