Ukrainian strikes on Russian datacentres have prompted claims, including from Volodymyr Zelenskyy, that online discourse has improved. Some viral graphs circulating online suggest a drop in bot activity and disinformation following the attacks, but fact-checkers caution the evidence is incomplete and that Zelenskyy's claims of better social media conditions do not fully hold up to scrutiny.
Why now: Claims that the strikes reduced bot activity are circulating widely while fact-checkers question the evidence.
