Bot-driven Amplification

Bot-Driven Amplification is a systematic media manipulation technique in which coordinated networks of automated social media accounts (bots) artificially enhance the visibility and perceived popularity of specific content through rapid, repetitive dissemination and engagement, distinguishing it from organic amplification by its synthetic, scalable, and algorithmically exploitative nature.
