Following Ukraine’s attack on Yandex’s data centers, Russian bot activity across American platforms appears to have declined significantly. A Swedish engineer rans tests by posting pro-H-1B visa content and observed no anti-Indian hate in response.

Or it could be Western forces trying to create anti-Russian sentiments.

Yandex is their equivalent of Google, right?
How would it affect hate bots on twitter?

How likely is it that the West turned off their hate bots and wanted to push such an idea?

Or the (testing something) part of the text or account name being Eric(non-Indian name) reducing bot activity?

Or more simply, they are just saying this without any actual data? Like, are we going to trust this on a screenshot of 3 tweets of hem talking inbetween themselves

Is any actual data shared?

Yandex operates a public cloud platform that rents computing power, storage, managed databases, analytics tools to individuals and businesses, just like Google does with Google Cloud.

They also operate a bunch of other infrastructure and services businesses in Russia, which was why Ukraine is targeting them. Also, Yandex is just one provider, but they are estimated to hold around 11% share of Russian cloud market.

People in tech and independent researchers are basically looking across X and reddit. It’s not just India, but American and European subreddits are seeing far less activity that they generally do.

This one was compelling. They tracked r/news and other subs across three days of attacks on Yandex.
