So I was curious and I just checked one at random @yeppsenia and join date July 2024 and Samara, Russia

Her Tweets include having cries of joy when Kamala Harris announced her presidential bid, being stuck commuting on Majura Parkway (Canberra / Australia) 4 days ago, a German proud tweet, and even hockey stuff like a rant about Stan Bowman


Several other accounts like @vicdmhkie shown are already suspended and most don't even show. @bqjperry is one I found to still exist, Oregon, OH. Several of the account does have some traces of existing with similar complaints about random tweets being sent.

Most of the tweets in the still active accounts don't even make sense to buy and certainly are not what you would expect if it was a paid shill bot.


To the chagrin of the poster above, it appears unlikely to be Poilievre shenanigans based on this. But it is yet another indication of how the threat of foreign interference and the misinformation campaign has to be taken seriously including within our government ranks. The current social media noise is pretty much a lie, and many innocuous comments, even ones without any clear motive, are fake.
