Now Russia will have a harder time interfering in our elections and spreading misinformation to trick Americans into voting for republicans, surely MAGA (who are openly pro-Russia) are upset about this?
Are Trump Supporters Upset That Ukraine Took Out Russian Internet?

They won’t answer. Their internet is down
This board should be pretty slow for a while
No wonder dump was trying to get Zelenskyy removed and propping up putins war.

His internet is out
nope I dont care about either one of them. Both are bad and I dont care if they fight. I just think our money should be spent on OUR VETS and not their war. But I get it our POTUS at the time started this by backing coup using USAID to fund it,so some feel we should help because the west caused it. Funny how the left-tards say we like Russia after their side took funding for decades from Moscow. The Clintons made hundreds of millions off of Moscow and even sold them the yellowcake that may have ended up in Iran after all. The left also takes a lot of CCP money these days...

Example number one.... It seems that actually posting your own ideas is hard....
Sorry your Russian Lords aren't able to provide you with talking points.
Without the Russian bot army, where will your disreputable redstate/townhall opinion writers get their talking points?
When Ukraine destroys Russian data centers, hoards of aggressive right-wing bots disappear, and Twitter becomes much friendlier. Isn’t that interesting? So much of our politics is driven by the internet, and so much of the internet is driven by Russians who want to hurt us. Shouldn’t we do something about that, given that we know it?
LOL.... I should actually feel sorry for you, but you are far too stupid to a point of hilarity.
RUSSIA!!!
What about it? That's where the bot farms are that you get all your news from
Says the Nazi symp.... Why would we care if Nazi's and Commies fight? You care however....
Without all your Moscow/Kiev and CCP money where would you be? Also lets not forget about that Nazi lover Soros money you love so much...
Russia is much worse because they attacked and invaded a country. (Ukraine)
I get checks from Moscow, Kiev, CCP and Soros? Damn, I better check the mailbox!!

You should care about this more than anyone else on this board because your entire world was invented for you in these Russian bot farms. No more news for you TRR and no, Tim Pool does not qualify as news. Sadly, it will be a hard fall but there's help out there if you'd just reach out!

Too bad the bot farms in China are still around for the Far Left
How do we eliminate all the bots on social media? X is total sheet show right now.
Before Elon bought Twitter, he blasted the board with Gateway Pundit articles all night. He's probably sifting through their trash for anything usable now that all his bot friends are on vacay.
Dpic and the dumb tards theory is based off of $100,000 in Russian Facebook ads, when there was something like $250B spent on ads.
Think about how far gone you have to be to not understand that math.
About $100,000 on Facebook ads (the most widely cited figure for paid social media influence), with broader US-focused operation costs estimated around $2–2.3 million over roughly two years.
The primary entity involved was the Internet Research Agency (IRA), a St. Petersburg-based “troll farm” funded by oligarch Yevgeny Prigozhin (with Kremlin ties). It operated fake accounts, pages, and groups that posted organic (unpaid) content and bought ads to amplify divisive issues, support Trump, and denigrate Clinton.
Key spending figures
• Facebook/Instagram ads: Facebook reported that IRA-linked accounts spent approximately $100,000 on roughly 3,000–3,500 ads from mid-2015 through mid-2017. An additional ~$50,000 came from more weakly linked Russian-associated accounts. The Mueller Report and congressional testimony confirm the ~$100,000 figure for IRA ad buys. Many ads focused on polarizing topics (race, immigration, guns, etc.) rather than explicitly naming candidates; some did so directly. These ads reached an estimated 11.4 million people, while related organic posts reached far more (up to ~126 million on Facebook alone via ~80,000 posts).
• Broader US operations: A 2017 investigation by Russian outlet RBC estimated the IRA spent about $2.3 million on its US-focused efforts over two years. Most of that went to salaries for up to ~90 staff on the “US desk.” Roughly $120,000 was allocated to social media promotion and ~$80,000 to support about 100 US-based activists who organized ~40 rallies.
• IRA overall scale: Around the 2016 election period, the IRA had a reported monthly budget of roughly $1.25 million. Broader related operations (sometimes called Project Lakhta) involved budgets on the order of $12 million in 2016 and tens of millions over multiple years, covering various activities beyond just the US election.
Context
For comparison, the Trump and Clinton campaigns together spent about $81 million on Facebook ads alone in the run-up to the election (a figure cited in congressional testimony), and total 2016 campaign/outside spending was in the billions. The Russian paid ad spend was a tiny fraction of that—on the order of 0.05% or less relative to the major campaigns’ Facebook spending. Much of the IRA’s reach came from free organic posts rather than paid ads.
These numbers come from Facebook disclosures, the Mueller Report, Senate Intelligence Committee findings, and contemporaneous reporting. Democratic officials, the intelligence community, and others highlighted the overall Russian interference campaign (including the social media effort, hacking, and leaks) as an attempt to sow discord and influence the election. Critics have noted the relatively small scale of the paid social media component compared with domestic political spending.

WTF are you talking abiout and what does this have to do with hundreds of thousands of Russian bots on Xitter?
I liked the 'bots are gone' chatter as much as anyone on the left, but we do need to be better about vetting sources and misinformation as well:
Where Real Troll Farms Operate
Real Russian disinformation networks do not operate their social media bots directly from Yandex servers. Western social media companies proactively block traffic coming from known Russian corporate data centers. To bypass these restrictions, state-sponsored troll farms use Western cloud hosting, residential proxies, VPNs, and hacked smart devices to mask their origins, making it look as though their posts are coming from regular users in the United States or Europe.
Impact on Truth Social
The attacks on Yandex did not disrupt the ability to post on Truth Social. Network and website status monitors show that Truth Social has been operating normally through the dates of the Yandex strikes, with no massive outages or disruptions to the platform's core functions. Because actual Russian disinformation accounts utilize decentralized Western proxies rather than centralized Russian servers, the Yandex data center destruction would not have brought down a U.S. social media platform or suddenly blocked bots from posting.
