Bot-Driven Disinformation is a form of computational propaganda that specifically employs automated software agents (bots) to generate, amplify, or manipulate false or misleading information with the intent to deceive audiences, distinguished from other disinformation strategies by its reliance on autonomous, algorithmically driven accounts to exploit digital communication networks at scale.
