Am I missing where talk might be archived somewhere on this article? Don't hard for me to believe that there's been no discussion about the topic.Jackhammer111 (talk) 07:49, 15 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, this article does not mention that there is no single instance of a proven social bot. The theory of social bots having large influence on social media has been proven wrong. Social bots are a hoax. See for example Michael Kreil 34C3 presentation or Florian Gallwitz NZZ. So this article needs to be reworked completely. Erbguth (talk) 09:29, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The article is just a definition of a thing. The article should mention that the existence of this thing is questioned by science. --141.70.0.131 (talk) 09:00, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
