Nah, we’re just using Iranian VPNs to get around UK censorship.
Of all the British state’s various psyops, this one has to be the flimsiest I’ve ever seen.
And the other 74% from Russia
Obviously people using VPNs to get around the wank license, but I hope this is real. The UK destroyed their country, so it is understandable they would support the UK splitting up.
I say we let them have this one. It is only fair
This is almost as much bullshit as “vote against your independence to keep your place in the EU”
American company with Israeli connections blames Iran 😲
The claim in the headline doesn’t seem to be supported by the actual report which says 26 per cent appeared to be fake, not from Iran. Clickbait-y.
Possible, we can’t know for sure. I would like to see where a large portion of all the far right stock puppet accounts are located though, I have a feeling they might be coming from Israel.
Wouldn’t surprise me if the same was true for some of the far right and die hard unionist accounts too.
Iran, Russia etc all want to cause serious social disharmony in the West and set us at each others throats .
I’m pro-independence. Like it or not, this is a fact. Scottish Independence would weaken the UK, so our adversaries want to see it happen. Russia and Iran are both interested in using this to be sow division and make the UK weaker, the same as they currently support the far-right antimigrant rhetoric, Brexit, and the attacks on the UK’s “free speech” and “two-tier policing.”
Scottish Independence is good for Scotland, but bad for the UK. Hence why the yoons are desperate to keep Scotland as part of the UK.
Wonder what percentage of Trans rights posts were also by Iran.
You would trust a website like that to produce a survey that is accurate?
This refers to X and I’d imagine that many independence supporters who actually live in Scotland have left the platform in disgust at Musk’s behaviour.
What’s the evidence? An AI company created in Israel backed by American politicians and an ex-CIA director that doesn’t want us to be independent? It’s such a trustworthy source after all.
The truth that Nats don’t like; independence plays right into the hands of our enemies (Russia, China, Iran) and there is a lot of manipulation from these countries to push for secession. Yous are being played!
I don’t know about Iran but 26% being bots or manipulated seems low, not because of independence but because most of social media is bot run echo chambers, especially with the advent of ai. It is the exact same for pro union posts. Plenty of bad actors just want to stir discontent and angst, it has nothing to do with any of the specific issues.
The bigger concern is the amount of folk who get sucked in by it.
Had [this guy’s](https://x.com/jakeq9170?s=21) tweet pop up for me the other day. When I clicked on his profile, it struck me that this ‘Scottish lad’ doesn’t seem to post much about fitness or classic cars… just about two posts per day, randomly talking about independence with no relation to anything topical, like relevant news stories in the UK.
These are the same spooks who claim there’s no genocide in Palestine and told us that Iraq had WMDs
u/1darkstarrynight where are you posting from?
Not surprising whatsoever. You can see the number of posts decrease whenever there are big events in Lebanon/Iran. No doubt the same is true from Russia.
Same shit as Brexit, except the leavers this time are the ones on Irans/Russia’s side.
Internet is full of bots 😲 I am shocked.
If they can’t attack independence on its own merit they’ll try and undermine it in principle by saying Scottish people aren’t actually all that fussed and a lot of the noise online is just bots.
As someone on this thread has mentioned, I’d be interested in seeing a similar report on the far-right uber-yoon accounts.
Can someone email me the report, as it refuses to accept my gmail has an email address.
I’d imagine 1/4 posts on Twitter are by Bots in general tbh. It’s dead internet
Hmm, sounds like shite
Ah fucka de union, i breakde its back and make it humble
Entirely in line with the % of bots on twitter.
I’ve no idea why our adversaries would think that Scottish independence would make the UK weaker.
As an indy supporter I really hope more of these bampots turn out to be bots, the shite you see online is totally cringe sometimes.
Cool, now do the same about Russian linked accounts/bots surrounding Brexit and immigration.
Shhiiiiiittttteeeee XD we’re all VPN’ed into other countries now anyway. Govt overreach forced us to react.
To be compared to the 90% of pro union posts coming from outside Scotland during the referendum…
Let’s be clear.
It’s a huge problem if those stupid fucks “down south” voted Brexit because of Russian interference and propaganda (which Scotland was somehow immune to), and same apparently goes for the rise of DJT, but it’s somehow okay for Russian and Iranian bots to shill for Scottish independence instead?
It’s the classic case of propaganda not being any kind of serious problem as long as it aids and supports your desired side.
Those are good figures: That only a quarter of posts are deliberate misinformation on a platform as completely toasted as Xwitter is a much smaller figure than I would have guessed.
Now do immigration.
Regurgitating this bullshit again I see.
A lot of the usually crowd who clearly didn’t read the editors note.
would not surprise me Scottish independence would be an easy win for them and Russia, i imagine the nats are getting help from them as well

The Iranians, a great bunch of lads.
Must be an election coming up soon 😂
Only 26? Sure it was bigger last time.
