Dishonest candidates, despots, authoritarians, oligarchs, or reputation management consultants, not to mention advertisers, have long been aware of the malleability of human memories.

Similar subject area, but I was watching a YT video last week that said that something like 50% of the accounts on social were bots. I don't know where this guy got this information, but he was citing some study.

Does this sound right? And if it's, say, 40% and not 50- what does that say about these platforms? And what are we all doing on them?
