Researchers: Bots targeted race during Democratic debate
According to research done by analytics firm Storyful, bot-like accounts pushed the hashtag #DemDebateSoWhite during Tuesday night's Democratic presidential debate. Of the 460 accounts that Storyful analyzed, 400 received what they describe as a 'medium bot score.' The source of the bots has not yet been determined, and despite the activity around the hashtag, it did not feature among the top 20 hashtags shared during the debate.
