> The definition of a bot could be problematic though. If a bot is merely automated posting, then virtually every company, news org, website, and anything else that uses automated posts is a "bot", and are those bad? I don't think so, those are useful. The problematic bots are basically automated trolls.

Except if you see that for example the BBC's World News account is a bot, that makes sense because the BBC isn't a person, it's an organization.

The problem is bots masquerading as individual people.
