Looks like they only report on the percentage of bot users. While that can be useful in the long-run (especially if you're implementing ways to mitigate it), but it seems like it'd be much more useful if you could tell on a per-user or per-session level whether the user was a bot, so you could turn off features like ad-serving or message-sending or whatever.

We have more detailed information about our detection decisions beyond bot percentage available to clients who want it, including statistics on a number of properties such as the type of bot and what bot markers are present.
