Ukraine strike on Russian data centre linked to drop in US social media activity
Original: Ukraine hits Russian Datacentre causing a 29% drop in US Twitter posts
Ukraine has struck a Russian data centre, reportedly one linked to Yandex, and a widely shared claim says US activity on the social platform formerly known as Twitter dropped 29% afterwards. The implication circulating online is that the facility was involved in serving traffic or bots reaching American users. The figure comes from a single unverified claim, and experts have not confirmed the connection between the strike and the measured drop.
Why now: The strike fuels ongoing debate about Russian disinformation networks and bot activity targeting Western social media.
