I wonder if this has anything to do with the SNP or is this just Iran regime promoting 'separatist movements' across the West instead of fixing problems at home, hence the Pubic getting sick of their shit?

Labour prefers to pay Americans to meddle in our Democracy via digital means, 'so much more civilised' I'm told, 'not even a crime at all...'

New paper published!

Ever wondered how some seemingly well-functioning political systems can suddenly switch to a completely different behaviour?
Ever thought about the effect that the attention span of people towards news has on this?
Ever felt that the impact of indifferent people on the stability of the system may be stronger than that of committed persons?
Good! Here, we make a mathematical model that shows exactly this.

@benroyce I think you will find the last three paragraphs of the conclusions particularly interesting.

I have been off #Mastodon quite a bit so changes really jump at me. Something that defo changed in the past 5 months is the number of #repost and #boost of actual #fakenews courtesy of #aislop #botfarms, here, from Vietnam. Please CHECK YOUR SOURCES or f***off because you are actively killing the #fediverse. Maybe it's intentional mind you.

I have a recent project to stop (LLM training) crawlers from copyright-thefting my website. I find these bots with either a hidden-link tarpit or by looking for single access events (no css), which I then ban if they come from a cloud server. So far I have learned:

• Amazon AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and Chinese telecom companies are pretty easy to block. These were the early heavy hitters.
• Huawei has little cloud server farms all over the world. I seem to still find about one a day.
• Some mysterious entity rents servers all over the world and crawls by sniping one page at a time. The snipes come in clusters, so all these bots are running the same crawler, with some but not complete inter-communication. Popular cloud companies are OVH Cloud, EGI Hosting, Web2Objects, Host Royale, Digital Ocean, Cloud Innovation, ....
