Fair. I thought so too, but I wanted to be as close to the article in question. As to avoid any misunderstandings.

Consequences? Sure. Does not cancel or falsify the results, though.

Point there is clear, that even the mods helped the bots manipulate people to a cause/point. This proves the studiy's point even more. In practice and in the real world.

Imagine the experiment was allowed to run secretly, it would have changed user's minds since the study claims that the bots were 3 to 6 times better at manipulating people than a human in different metrics.

Given that Reddit is a bunch of hive minds, it is obvious that it would have made huge dents. As mods have a tendency to delete or ban anyone who rejects the group think. So mods are also a part of the problem.

Did anyone expect anything else?

They do perhaps know, Firefox did have about 27%+ of the market at one point and people outside of the USA are more likely to know about it. Nevertheless, FF is currently about 3.25% of the total browser base. That is still about 160+ - 200+ million users.

What kind of bullshit is this?

God, I dislike Google so much. Funny to remember that once their motto used to be, "Do no evil." Ha, good times.

Unexpected Keyboard is excellent for Termux. Wished it had autocorrect, though.

Personally, I have gotten excellent traction from Heliboard. I would recommend it.

Available facts are literally the statements made by the US military or the US government -- for the time being. I mean, what you are going to do? Get on your private plane and fly to the gulf, land on the aircraft carrier and check it out for yourself? Surely, and in time, more facts will come out, either from the US government or from elsewhere. We will be able to have then, objectively, a better picture of what happened.

Point is not to jump to false conclusions, either way. Just not go into conspiracy theories, is my point. To me at least, it seems like just a waste of time.

No, I am not saying that my gut instinct is to trust the US military, I am well aware of the US bullshit propaganda machine, my gut instinct is not to make conspiracies out of nothing just because, 'Trump bad.' We are both coming at it from the general same direction, but my stance is more neutral than yours, until further notice, obviously.
