Social media bots, also known as social bots, are automated software programs or algorithms that interact with social media platforms, often with the purpose of manipulating or influencing social media activities, engagement, or trends.
Social media bots can impact social media conversations, trends, and perceptions, and can be used for both legitimate and nefarious purposes. It’s important for social media users to be aware of the presence of social media bots and critically evaluate the information and engagement they encounter on social media platforms.
Additionally, social media platforms have policies and measures in place to detect and mitigate the use of social media bots to maintain the integrity and authenticity of their platforms.
