Do we have bots?

I just read a disturbing post about how bots are shaping the climate change denial agenda. Awful.

Let's turn to the online lies and divisive messaging related to the primaries and GE. I hope "we" (meaning all those supporting Democratic candidates) have our own bots to counter these efforts.

Also, is there a place on the internet where we can accumulate and respond in rapidfire to election lies or messages designed to divide us spread via bots and generally by humans through social media?

If we don't, we will get destroyed. I hope some organization is looking at this at a macro level and responding to every micro widespread lie.

Social media is a good thing and an awful thing. I am getting more aware of how it has been and is being used for manipulation and psychological operations/psyops.
