Summary | People on social media are often discussing/debating with bots when it comes to politics. A lot of bots are created to misinform the public (they are called protests bots or propaganda bots). During the 2016 US Presidential election, many tweets with the hashtag MAGA or CrookedHillary came from automated bots.

Summary | Twitter has a huge problem with trolls. Many users harrass other users on the platform and Twitter is always trying to do something about it with little success. But at least they are trying - Facebook is rejecting any responsibility for fake news spread on their platform.
