Roughly 200 accounts from a suspected Chinese bot farm have quietly tried to influence Americans to oppose AI data centers on social media, X said Thursday night.
The original article is from Axios. They do point out that there’s organic opposition, but the title is definitely sensational and arguably disinformation.
Now, even if they actually are adding extra to the conversation, there’s still plenty of people unhappy about data centers. If foreign bots were adding noise to the Cornell case, does that invalidate what happened to Jane Doe?
We see the videos from town halls, we see the pictures of the water, we hear the recordings of the noise pollution. We see all the extra infrastructure that sometimes cuts through people’s property.
There are legitimate concerns that people want to be addressed.
Yeah “fuelling the fire” is absolutely wrong. You don’t get the kind of spontaneous grass roots action across the country with any amount of social media activism. The headline is straight up misinformation.
Maybe “fanning the flames” would be acceptable, but, honestly, why even spend the time to write an article about a butterfly flapping its wings in China when talking about a hurricane in Texas.
