Chinese Bots Flooding Twitter With Porn and Escorts to Bury News of Massive Protests Against COVID Lockdowns

The Chinese people have had enough of the brutal “zero-Covid” policies of the authoritarian CCP controlled country.

Citizens have been suffering under the cruel measures for years leading to isolation, starvation and even suicide.

Angry protesters have gathered all over China, including Tsinghua university in Beijing, with massive protests against the authoritarian regime’s  zero-Covid policies. Demonstrations have occurred recently in multiple in cities – including Shanghai, Nanjing and Guangzhou.

The regime is apparently using Chinese bots to flood Twitter with porn and escort ads to stop the spread of news about the protest and make it more difficult for users to access information.

The New York Post reports:

Chinese bots are swamping Twitter with sexually explicit posts about porn and escorts in an apparent bid to stop the spread of news about the massive protests against lockdowns and President Xi Jinping.

Searches for major Chinese cities that have seen mass protests will “mostly see ads for escorts/porn/gambling, drowning out legitimate search results,” said Air-Moving Device, sharing a series of charts.

“Data analysis in this thread suggests that there has been a significant uptick in these spam tweets,” the outlet said, sharing data retweeted by Stanford Internet Observatorydirector Alex Stamos.

The “vast majority” — more than 95% — appear to be spam accounts that “tweet at a high, steady rate throughout the day, suggesting automation,” the analysis said.

Twitter user Mengyu Dong shared images of some of the bot’s work including examples of dormant bots that suddenly are tweeting thousands of tweets a day.
