On using automated social actors to spreading political propaganda

If you are interested in the different ways bots could influence the social discourse online I totally recommend reading this great article I recently read on how bots can manipulate social media and spread political propaganda  https://medium.com/in-beta/media-hacking-3b1e350d619c .

The author of the article is John Borthwick. Also, Gilad Lotan discusses this issue in his Medium.
