"And the takeover of reddit's /r/politics by the Correct the Record PAC? This story is far bigger than a few twitter bots."
This is interesting. Can you expand on this? Is it that CTR was involved? It sounds like the source(s) of the Twitter bots won't likely be found. What's the reach of reddit's /r/politics in comparison to Twitter?
"It's hard to know anymore who is genuine and who is a paid sock puppet in certain forums."
Isn't that the truth! Same goes increasingly for sources in general.
