Bot-spotting tips


The Atlantic Council's Digital Forensic Research Lab (DFRL) offers social-media users tips for spotting a bot:

• Frequency: Bots are prolific posters. The more frequently they post, the more caution should be shown. The DFRL classifies 72 posts a day as su ious, and more than 144 per day as highly su ious.
• Anonymity: Bots often lack any personal information. The accounts often have generic profile pictures and political slogans as "bios".
• Amplification: A bot's timeline will often consist of re-tweets and verbatim quotes, with few posts containing original wording.
• Common content: Networks of bots can be identified if multiple profiles tweet the same content almost simultaneously.

The Digital Forensic Research Lab's full list of tips can be found here.

There are a number of apps that will evaluate "bot-ness" and they tend to be pretty spot on.
