Social media posts claim Russian bot traffic has fallen sharply after attacks on Yandex data centres, and some X users have run “bot tests” to show fewer automated replies. Cloudflare data does show bot traffic dropping, especially from Yandex, which fell to nearly zero on Sunday morning and has not fully recovered. However, the article argues this does not prove that automated accounts on social media have reduced their activity, since Cloudflare’s data measures all non-human traffic, including crawlers used by search engines and AI training. The widely shared charts therefore do not by themselves show less automated activity on social platforms.
